Community Tasting Note

  December 21, 2016 - Decanted.
  Clear, medium ruby.
  On the nose: Red berries, soft cherries, earth, sweet spice, brett. Same distinct VA paint solvent as the previous bottle, but this time around the air time greatly helped. The VA notes receded (but never completely went away), and more complex floral and herbal notes emerged.
  On the palate: Medium(+) acidity, medium(+) body. Medium(+) intensity of strawberry, red cherry, earth, and a hint of dark fruit. Medium(+) integrated tannins, medium(+) pleasant finish.
  This wine punches above its weight. The chameleonic nose is engaging, and the body can hold its own against some other pricier old world wines. 92 pts tonight. Should be good for another 10 years or so.
