Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 28, 2023 - This pours light garnet in the glass with light bricking. The nose is just gorgeous blasting black peppercorn, green peppercorn, creosote, smoked meat, crushed slate, dried blueberry, dried plum, and dried cranberry. The palate comes across quite lean, but fans out with air showing cranberry on entry turning to medium plus, firm, green tinged tannin, and medium plus cranberry acid. The fish turns a tad green replaying the green peppercorn and in the end clipping the profile. All in all this is a nice and very alive and classically styled Northern Rhone. I absolutely love the aromatics with the intense pepper and smoke character. The fruit and the palate are quite lean which certainly detracts a fair bit, but is an aspect I can forgive given how complex the nose is. Notably, 24 hours of air really allowed the fruit to come forward, so I'd recommend plenty of air. Really enjoyable stuff.
