Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 13, 2023 - Earthy dark cherry fruit on the nose. I got some volatile acid on the nose but it is modest. Surely also some new oak ? There are some barrique here but I don't know if any was new. Broad in the mouth. Juicy fruit. Ripe. Full of flavor - licorice and cherry. Bright acid. Grippy tannins still - fine grained but quite drying. I doubt they will ever really fully come around. I noticed the oak more as time went by - as I always do. A long decant and a steak would help.Holding up well.
Tannins better mannered the next day, which is encouraging. Loads of sediment. Suggest a very long decant.

wine of the otherwise overdone Marc De Grazia book in the early 2000s.
