Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 3, 2023 - Imma have to start calling your secretary! (Sunset District): An initial heavy, thick moss notes on the nose with that old yet intense leather funk. Deep earth and wet autumn leaves. With time, the funk loosens up and integrates more with the fruit. The funk doesn't blow off completely but does fade in intensity.

Surprisingly, the palate showed ripe blackberries and good dark blue berry fruit, and deep black soil. Pulverized oak and steeped tea on the finish with a nice mineral finish. The ripe fruits has this coating on the minerals and oak, and slowly releases its grasp as it trails into the finish. Absolutely nothing like the nose. The nose definitely leads you thinking it’s gonna be something funky but the palate tells you otherwise. What a surprising turn of events. Maybe this just needed some bottle time for the modern style to really show.
