Community Tasting Note

• bevetroppo Likes this wine: 91 points

  May 21, 2023 - Fully mature somber red color, turning orange if not actual bricking at the rim. I don't know why but the color in the glass makes me a little sad in a wistful, memento mori nostalgic kind of way.
  
  Not so the nose, which shines forth with sour cherry and ripe boysenberry, a distant note of menthol, all wrapped in a soft earthen shell. In the mouth it delivers attractive fruit and a lovely cooling sensation that speaks to balance and reasonable 13.5% alcohol. There's a little hint of sweetness almost on the long, gamy and gently tannic finish.
  
  Drinking in its peak window if you enjoy some age and probably 5 more years if well stored. Sound bottles only need apply.
