Community Tasting Note

Mdog Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 7, 2023 - 375ml opened for 13 days, stored at 35F on progressively growing shoulders, brought up to 60F this note is based on the last 3 oz of the bottle.
deep purple high viscosity ( this glass also had fine sediment- ha ha)
nose: fig, prune, black cherry, cola, hints of brown spice and some alcohol, and red beet
palate: sweet without being syrupy, bright acidity, high tannin, ripe black fruit , black olive and red pepper (rotundone not methoxypyrazines), vanilla and just a hint of licorice - marion berry finish with a slight salinity and clean acidity—> perfect

I prefer port while the fruit is still ripe/bright but this wine is way too young to drink now. Based on my experiment, I’m going to give my other bottles at least 10 more years ( 2033 seems so far away)

BTW in it’s current state this wine is amazing with Iberico cheese, ok with 70% cocoa and not as good with blue cheese or walnuts
