March 17, 2024 - Blind tasting (5 bottles in $10 - $500 range) (The Sumoba compound): Nose: Dried tree bark and twigs, dried stones, and dark fruits. With some air, the fruits turn a notch more brighter, bringing a delicate freshness. Loving the nuance here.
Palate: A bit austere initially with strict red fruit, it’s there but seems a little uptight. A lean strike of graphite throughout, with drying tannin and nicely steeped tea on the finish. With some air, everything drastically loosens up, bringing a familiar hug of welcoming balanced fruits, minerals and tannin.
