Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 21, 2024 - Decanted for an hour and enjoyed with friends at our housewarming. The aromas were sublime from the moment we opened this bottle. The aromatic notes were diverse, featuring herbal elements, crushed medium-dark berries, and a distinctive orange peel undertone. As for the palate, it offered intriguing layers of plum, wet tobacco leaves, tar, and mint tea. However, at times, the presence of wet mint tea leaves was overwhelming. It felt like I was taking a bath in mint tea leaves. I never encountered enough acidity or brighter red berries here, which was disappointing. The strong tannins also posed a challenge, masking many of the wine's elements. I had high expectations for this bottle but was left a little let down. I think this needs at least 5-10 years for everything to mellow out. There's a lot of potential here. 94-95
