Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Monday, December 11, 2023 - Deep, dark reddish-purple; essentially opaque in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty & dark cocoa notes, floral notes of violets, spices, herbs, anise, tobacco, olives, minerals & hints of vanilla & cedar. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with dark cocoa, spices, espresso, earthy, minerals, herbs & a hint of vanilla/oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and extended airing but definitely needs & will benefit from additional time to develop to its full potential at which time it may rate higher. An indicative blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Petit Verdot.
