Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Saturday, February 3, 2024 - Brick red color. Beautiful, funky nose with black soil, cooked mushrooms, saddle leather, fresh tobacco and tart cherry. More of the same plus some mint notes on the palate. Some would find this a bit lean I'm sure, but for those like me that enjoy tertiary flavors it's really a nice wine. Reminds me somewhat of a high quality aged Chinon, but more leather and less herbal. I didn't have high expectations for this bottle given the vintage, but clearly the provenance on this bottle (birthday gift a couple years ago) was great, and it really impressed me.
