Community Tasting Note

Heynetty Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 9, 2022 - D5 DipWSET FORTIFIED WINES with Adam Chase and Matt Gaughan; 4/9/2022-4/10/2022 (St Francis' Yacht Club San Francisco): A: Deep garnet [others in the room say ruby]
N: Medium (+) nose of sun-dried tomato, dried fig, dried cherry, blackcurrants, chocolate, menthol, white pepper, TOBACCO and LEATHER.
P: Sweet, medium (+) acidity [instructor says HIGH], high ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium (+) intensity and long finish.
Beautiful balance of acidity with this ripe developing fruit.
Length is optimal and born by a good intensity. The complexity here is noteworthy spanning primary and tertiary fruit, herbaceous, oak and other signs of development.
This is an outstanding quality wine.
The wine is suitable for ageing.
REMEMBER FOR EXAM: VINTAGE PORT IS BOTTLE AGED AND COLHEITA IS BARREL AGED
