Community Tasting Note

• BVal wrote: 92 points

  May 21, 2023 - Color/App: opaque/inky core -> dense ruby rim with the barest touch of garnet at the edge; medium + viscosity. Initially had a green/weedy note on the nose at PnP that was off-putting but decanted and waited 20-30 minutes and that blew off. Bouquet of road tar, earth, creosote and black, black fruits; black plums, blackberries, black cherries -- you name it; it's there. This tasted younger than expected; still some grippy tannins to resolve but showing promise. Palate exhibiting that plethora of black fruit, dirt, ash, a touch of pepper and some roasted meat. I find this to be fairly primary still and demonstrating an austere, northern Rhone framework. I'm inclined to give this a bit more time given the tannins and youthful appearance; I think patience will be rewarded. 92-94.
