Community Tasting Note

Gabriel Geller Likes this wine:

Monday, October 1, 2018 - Carmel, Mediterranean, 2007: Man this wine has changed in the past 4 years. Not for the better I'm afraid. Dark ruby in color, the nose displays notes of black currants, cherries, red plums with a hint of nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, with an elegant texture. On the palate, notes of black cherries, raspberries and plums along spices such as nutmeg and pepper with hints of green tobacco leaves, medium acidity and integrating tannins with a touch of black pepper on the moderately long finish. This wine does not feel tired, over the hill nor oxidized. However it has lost much of its complexity and layers, kinda backwards. The structure and fruit are still sufficient for a couple more years of cellaring so perhaps it will evolve favorably but I doubt it. Drink now. 13.5% Abv. 90
