Community Tasting Note

  • WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 94 points

    February 3, 2024 - "I'll drink anything" (San Carlos): Aromas of soft but deep black and blue fruits (fresh, dark blue and purple plums, black cherries, and blueberries), earth, and subtle shiny minerals.

    The palate showed dried oak and dark but fresh plums. Bitter earth accompanied by a light dusting of dark graphite. There's freshness to this but it didn't seem to match the vibes of the flavors.

    There's something about these Amoenus' in that they reflect its sibling, the Materium, very much but just a few notches turned down. Maybe I caught this at a bad time as well. Or maybe bottle shock (if that's even a thing).
