Community Tasting Note

TannicBeast Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 17, 2021 - Tasted blind. Med (+) ruby w/ a garnet rim. Med. aromas of black plum, ripe red fruit, dried green herbs, tobacco, bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, pencil shavings, ie. smells like new French oak. Dry, with med acidity, med (+), velvety tannins and med (+) to high alcohol (actually 14.5%). Full-bodied, with med (+) intensity, med (+) finish and med complexity. A very good quality, moderate climate Merlot, it straddles the fence between Old World and New World. I went Right Bank Bordeaux, but in hindsight this is too clean, too ripe and too oak-driven to be French. Drink now or over the next several years.
