Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 2, 2022 - As others have noted, this takes some aeration to come around, after an hour and double decant this started singing. Dark red fruits, cherry, cassis, strawberry, fresh and dried roses, spice box, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, pure silk on the palate with intense fruit and along finish. This is my first experience with this producer and I’m impressed, I can’t wait to try the rest of the lineup.
