Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 22, 2022 - Very rich yet. Almost overwhelmingly so before it gets a lot of air in it. Complex nose with potpourri, wood, camphor, dried fruits and on and on. The fruit is still bright yet showing a lot of complexities. It might be transitioning into secondary phases but its a bit difficult to discern right now with the power still present. The acidity initially seemed overwhelmed by the richness but you really see how this opens when it lets itself show. Plenty of tannin of course. Its got that lava rock quality I get from Aglianico so often. Charcoal and plum. I liked this best on night two when the balance and complexity really put on a show. Still very good on night three if less expressive. Has thrown a decent amount of sediment. A terrific wine coming into its own. Long life ahead of it. I'd say in another five years this will be where you want it.
