Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - This is excellent wine. It starts out very slowly, disjointed and almost severe. I think that it is maybe 5 years too early to be getting into this wine, based on what I experienced tonight. At first there is a whiff of dark fruit, and not a whole lot else. But after 90 minutes open the wine begins to articulate itself, showing a prominent mineral side, with savory elements of wood and charcoal, rock, and something like shrimp paste. Yup. And then there are waves of fruit, and it is vivacious, juicy, and alluring high toned red fruit, and still noble and focused. Two and a half hours in and the wine just sings. Energetic and driving, with sweet and complex fruit and savory aromas and flavors too, and all perfectly balanced, showing great purity, and completely harmonious. The finish is very long and entirely mineral. There is an awful lot of wine here, in a humble package.
