Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 11, 2023 - This pours medium purple in the glass, with a deep, inky, glass staining youthful color. The nose is pungent showing and entirely primary expression of cassis, blueberry jam, fresh ripe blackberry, tar, iodine, violet, and fennel seed. The palate is deep, rich and ripe replaying that glass staining character. It enters on blackberry with medium plus firm tannin and medium acid. The finish is dominated by the structure with touches of dark fruit and some crushed rock mineral. All in all this is pretty tight and primary. Not getting even a hint of nascent complexity that is to come. That makes it hard to read but I have to rate it based on what I’m tasting here. On the plus side there is no obtrusive oak. Ripeness, and extract while high are not overdone which is also nice to see. Of course there is room for improvement with age.
