Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 10, 2018 - Decanted for two hours and then drank over the next two. Deep dark purple color. Nose of cherry, earth and baking spices. On the palate strong flavors of cherry, red currant, raspberry, with undertones of pepper, oak, leather and green pepper. The fruit really pops initially. Long finish with ample tannin. We also tried it with some pizza to see how it handled the acid from the tomato sauce and it was divine.

This is a fantastic wine. It is still drinking very young - I imagine over the next 5-10 years the tannin will continue to mellow and will reveal something truly spectacular. As for now, I believe it is drinking at a 94, but with some more cellar time this could easily be ~96 for me.
