Community Tasting Note

    February 7, 2015 - Not sure what to think about this. There's vanilla and dill from the American oak as expected, but the fruit is ripe black and blue and a bit overwhelming at this point. Even on day two, the wine is very fruity and monolithic, although not overdone or over ripe in any way. Hopefully this baby fat will integrate, but I expected a bit more integration and toned down fruit at this point anyway. I'm not that experienced with Rioja aging curves, so I'm going to wait a while to pop and of my other bottles.
