Community Tasting Note

  • FieldingYost wrote: 94 points

    August 22, 2014 - Fragrant red and black plum, cocoa, also on the nose. Evident ripeness on the nose here. Black plum flavors are intensely structured, some black currant pucker on the corners of the mouth, blackberry on the midpalate, and sweet black licorice on the finish. This starts very ripe, but stiffens up on the mid-palate. A lot of structure to resolve here, so if you are holding out, I would suggest more time (a couple years, at least).

    The score I gave could prove absolutely conservative, because there is clearly an exceptional depth to the material, but also tannin to burn.
