Community Tasting Note

• cephomer Likes this wine: 95 points

  October 20, 2022 - Mark brought to our CKH wine dinner Tuesday nite, and might've been my fave wine of the eve (not an easy feat as we had some fab wines!).
  Nose exuded aromas of black fruit, herbs and leather. Lots of fruit and excellent complexity on the palate. This is a powerful, muscular, sexy wine that IMO is in a great place right now (whoever might think this wine past it's prime is nutso!). There's spice, leather, black cherries and some earth, along with solid acidity. Tannins are hardly noticeable, and well-integrated. Wonderfully long and luxurious finish. Loved this wine!
