Community Tasting Note

BuckeyeBenS Likes this wine:

Friday, January 12, 2024 - Really pretty, fresh nose upon opening. Virtually no cork penetration, and just a bit of sediment in the bottle. Decanted about 60 minutes before sipping (that's a lie, of course I had a small splash immediately). Color is a solid purple-red. Nose is quite youthful, with notes of fresh and juicy red plums, fresh cut flowers, and bright red berries. Upon sipping, there are crunchy almost-ripe red fruits with just a whisper of tartness that contributes to the freshness of the wine. There is a little bit of mouth-drying tannin here too, but not so much that it distracts. Medium body, short-ish finish. Clearly still young, but at the price it is easy to justify drinking while the more expensive stuff sleeps a bit longer.
