Community Tasting Note

  November 14, 2014 - P and V, followed by 15 minutes rest in decanter. Dark purple. Nearly opaque, with good clarity. Nose is earthy, with red fruit and currant notes and a hints of spice.
  
  In the mouth fruitiness is forward. Flavor notes are bright; strawberry, cherry, red plum, but with some of the same spiciness noted in the nose. Though the fruit notes are forward, this is not a fruit bomb. Decent acidity, with a bit of heat. After a couple of minutes a bit of tannin emerges, not powerful but enough to give a bit of body. Dry, with the fruitiness giving a hint of some apparent sweetness.
  
  Well-balanced wine with no defects. Decent on its own, but this is really a food-friendly wine. Beautiful with some parmesan cheese I was nibbling. I don't think this wine has much aging potential.
  
  Rated good (86-88). Excellent QPR from WTSO.
