Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2024 - A bit of a monster- only 14%ABV, but tastes bigger. This is concentrated, brawny, and powerful. Nose is bursting with red and dark fruits, along with big big leather aromas. The leather might turn some people off, but I like it. There is garrigue, fresh and dried herbs, some wild barnyard smells, and what I can only describe as depth. What a nose!
  
  Powerful in the mouth as well. Lots of leather as well as a huge core of sour cherry and black cherry fruit. The herbals, earthiness, barnyard, it's all there on the palate. Tannins are medium, a little rough, but not overpowering in and of themselves. Maybe a little Brett, but it's minimal.
  
  There's a wildness to the whole package that is very appealing. But as fun as it is out of the bottle, I do prefer it as it takes on air and tames down a little bit. It's like it becomes a strong race horse rather than a wild stallion! The whole thing is a bit more manageable on Day 2.
