Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 3, 2022 - Beautiful ruby colour with slight hint of brick on the edge.
At first quite reticent, tart cherries, menthol. With air fuller and more complex: notes of orange, coffee, cola. deep black cherries join the tart red ones without replacing them. Wonderfully fragrant in a sort of masculine register but without being earthy. Some Morey-like minerality.
Elegant on the palate with more of those cherrries. Lovely persistence on the mid-palate, a sensational finish with copious integrated fine tannins and lifted acidity framing persistent flavours that match all of the above. With time and air the palate becomes more and more integrated, a delicious rich black fruit character starts to dominate.
There is some hint of secondary development but this is still an incredibly youthful wine that seems to be on a plateau. I'm fortunate to have a few bottles left and I will not be in any hurry to drink them.
