Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 13, 2016 - PnV. Oh my...

I don't hand out mid-90 scores very often, but this one is well deserved. Dark and opaque, with dark black fruits, restrained meatiness, and creaminess (how does one smell that?) on the nose. Densely rich with blackberries and a creamy mouthfeel, followed with just the right amount of acid to clean things up, kinda like eating a rich blackberry sundae and chasing it down with some ginger creme brûlée.

Beautifully done.

Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Syrah glass at 58F. Surprised to see such variability in experiences with this wine. Perhaps it was served too warm? I can see how this might be totally different above 65F.
