Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - Medium plus ruby-garnet. Starting to form very fine sediments.

Very herbaceous top note - dill, geranium, tobacco leaf. High acidity (think unsweetened cranberry) may mislead people think red fruit, but the actual fruit is very dark and dry- black currant and blueberry. Strong black olive undertone. Green herbal note throughout. Light body. There is black-tea like soft velvety tannin. Finish with licorice, exotic spices, and black pepper.

This vintage is relatively light in fruit, but it got a lot of interesting herbaceous nuances instead. It reminds me of Syrah from a cold climate in a very cold year (Maybe, rotundone?).
