Community Tasting Note

  June 13, 2016 - Hermitage in a Burgundian vein.
  
  Surprisingly light color. Medium weight on the palate (lighter than I expected), but packs a lot of punch. Power w/o weight, yadda yadda.
  
  Flavor-wise: significant licorice element. Normally that's not my thing, but here it plays a consistent, supplementary role that just worked for me with this wine and provided a great deal of interest.
  
  With time, smoke and green olives come out, with the smokey element taking center stage with food - grilled bone-in ribeye, a great pairing.
  
  Great experience with a lovely, lovely wine.
