Community Tasting Note

• CMN wrote: 96 points

  October 29, 2017 - This wine offers a kaleidoscope of blackberry fruit with funk, green foliage, earth, dust and a kiss of licorice. Concentrated, yet never heavy and well balanced by the acidity. Lovely texture. Tannins are noticeable, but nicely polished.
  
  I expected to dislike the wine due to the ripe vintage and oak treatment, but I did not find the overly ripe fruit nor signs of too much wood. Color me pleasantly surprised. While this wine is nowhere near it's peak, it also offers a lot of pleasure for current drinking. Best after 2024.
  
  Also, it must be said that TK, who generously shared this wine with me, is a phenomenal friend. So blessed.
