Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Thursday, March 9, 2017 - Dark red with deep ruby highlights. Delicious nose of blackberries and strawberries with black pepper. Strong tannins and a stronger feeling by of tightness - this wine needs at least another three years to loosen up. Blueberries on the front palate quickly transition to blackberry bramble, and a faint but clear notes of rose petals and smoke; the smoke/meat char note really emerges in the finish, which is tasty and lasts forever. This would be a fantastic wine with an Argentine asado. Score based on how interesting it is and on future hopes as much as how it tastes now.
