Community Tasting Note

Unterco Likes this wine:

Friday, May 1, 2020 - Stored at 55 since release, nearly perfect cork shows a trace (1mm wide streak) of color up 3/4 of the way up one side. Decanted, little sediment.
Color is a medium drop ruby to a thin watery rim.
Very pretty nose of exotic spice (Chinese five spice, star anise, all spice, cloves) approaching floral aromatics, but not quite violet, and a faint resinous note. Ripe blackberries, no signs of decay, with an underlying cool soil like minerality.
Ripe forward fruit and zingy acidity on the attack along with some drying tannins. Medium bodied, medium high acid and ripe but still drying tannins. Solid core of ripe mature fruit. Long juicy finish starts fruity and turns stony.
Overall drinking beautifully at or near peak.
