Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by CDT on 7/2/2021 & rated 89 points: Dark ruby in colour with aromas of sweet black fruit & somewhat floral.
On the palate, full bodied & fruit forward black fruit, blackberry/cassis, oak as cedar, slightly earthy with high acidity & high soft tannins. The finish is long to sour berries & a chalky minerality. And even though this wine is not particularly complex, it is balanced & the flavour is pleasant. And the bottle is very cool too! (398 views)
