Community Tasting Note

  January 7, 2017 - On pop and pour the nose is very funky and barnyardy, but with an hour+ in the glass, it morphs into much more pleasant aromas of violets and red/purple fruits with just a bit of funk.
  
  The palate is red fruited -- raspberry/cherry/strawberry -- with flavors of white pepper, violets, leather, earth, green herbs and funk. There's a nice mineral quality that comes to the fore on the finish. The fruit is ripe (but not overripe), with plenty of acids and gentle tannins. Shows a great sense of place and easy drinking at 12% abv. Nice QPR. Will improve with time sideways but very drinkable at this young age.
