Community Tasting Note

  July 11, 2023 - A truly great bottle. This 2015 was excellent, and came off as especially elegant and approachable in light of the vintage. At 12.5% alcohol, transparent ruby in the glass this has notes of red plum and capsicum. Its softened, polished tannins with minimal wood influence are just silky. This is a delight to drink now and should be great throughout its lifetime.

This wine was none of those things and it seems to me like Rougeard managed the conditions well. I edited my note for clarity.
