Community Tasting Note
Derek Darth Taster wrote:
Saturday, July 4, 2020 - Merlot showdown at Maison Dakota. Tasted semi-blind. Drank in Grassl 1855.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of earth, new leather, dark red cherries, black cherries, hint of soy. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), velvety soft medium+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, dark red and black plums, dark red cherries, blackberries, licorice, new leather. Long finish.
Very good quality. Soft velvet mouth-feel is the highlight of this wine. Slight lack of acidity shows. Some may think this to be borderline soupy. A better impression already since the last time I drank this. Oak has integrated. I would say drink up sooner rather than later. Not worth the money for me.
Guessed correctly as the 2007 Redigaffi.

9/26/2020 6:14:00 PM - 1-2 hours of air-time. Yes maybe I would air it more if I had another bottle. But from an equality standpoint, Masseto and Galatrona performed better with the same amount of air-time. Galatrona best QPR from a price perspective.
