Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Friday, June 30, 2017 - It's been barely a month since my last bottle, but concerned as to how that one showed, I decided not to wait. Black cherry, floral and vanilla on the nose. Same overall flavor profile as the prior bottle with black cherry upfront, deeper plum in the middle along with a bit of raspberry and then tart red cherry and raspberry towards the back. Finishes with good acidity, fine grained tannins, mineral notes and vanilla. The difference between this bottle and the prior one were twofold: (1) the acidity was much more in balance with the fruit and (2) this bottle retained more mid-body density and more elegance than the prior one. This bottle showed more along the lines of what I was expecting with pretty fruit, balanced acidity, good contrasts and solid, but not overbearing structure. There will certainly be bottle variation so my recommendation would be to drink this now. If this bottle is indicative, it won't get any better with additional time and given where the fruit and acidity are currently, I would drink and enjoy.
