Community Tasting Note

  • Brent25 wrote: 89 points

    May 19, 2023 - Clear medium ruby; clean medium plus nose of red cherry liquor, blackberry cordial, raspberry jam, barnyard, rubber and florality; dry; high acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate has fruit payoff with addition of candied fruit, brandy, baking spices, raisins and cocoa; long finish; do not drink - wait another 3 years; a hot mess and almost undrinkable out of the bottle - all alcohol and Koolaid; a 1 hour decant helped a little; hoping that the wine will settle down with additional age and/or that this was a bad bottle
