Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 9, 2022 - D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Deep ruby
N: Medium (+) intensity nose of prunes, dried cherries, white pepper, clove, nutmeg, medicinal , menthol
P: Sweet, medium acid [instructor says its medium + acidity], high chalky tannins [instructor describes these as ripe], high alcohol, medium (+) intensity and medium (+) finish.
This is a very high quality wine. The acidity balances the sugar, length and intensity support a mildly complex wine. Further ageing might provide more dried fruit, leather and other tertiary factors may develop and increase the complexity of this wine.
Suitable for ageing....obvs.
