Community Tasting Note

caspernick Likes this wine:

Monday, March 11, 2024 - Deep ruby colored with minor staining and a high viscosity (14.5% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of cassis, tobacco, cedar, black plum, camphor, mint, black coffee and iodine. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and medium (+) tannins that are chalky and crunchy. Flavors of ripe blackcurrant, black plum, tobacco, cedar, coffee and that sanguine iodine note caress the tongue and carry on to a longish finish. I like the tannic structure- it's grippy yet lets the fruit do its job. I like the flavor profile, it's a classic Left Bank Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Lovely stuff that gets 92 points from me and for $34- 5 stars. It's open for business now if you like 'em a bit dry and astringent, or you could wait. This beauty will last till 2035. I'm charring up some Sirloins with a pepper sauce.
