Community Tasting Note

tastefuldrop Likes this wine:

Monday, July 24, 2023 - Poured from a wine dispenser.

Dark purplish. Complex nose and relatively expressive for 2018 - taming alcohol sure does help! Slightly creamy cassis, menthol, herbs. Dark liqueur berries are there too. Fruit not dominant, this is a thoughtful wine.

On the palate, it is dense, focused and layered with nice cherry acidity, carrying saline notes with it though no tight-sprung finish of minerality here. Instead gently coasting into a long cassis impression on the finish. Tannins still scrub the gums. Give it a hundred years. Or points!

This is a wine that lifts dark cassis while others are losing shape in the candy store. Wow! That cassis! 98 pts
