Community Tasting Note

  • Jonezky wrote: 92 points

    January 8, 2018 - The nose gives sweet dried figs, tobacco, some kind of herbiness and earthy air dried ham notes.

    The flavor brings plenty of sour cherry and even cranberry thanks to the high acidity, well balanced oak, the same earthiness and light smokiness. The wine is developed but at the same time fresh and lively. The general appearance is tannic, sour and juicy, comfortably rich but not too concentrated with great structure and balance.

    Long tannic after taste brings sour cherry, forest strawberry, light leather and cigar.

    The wine will certainly improve with time but it is already charming and unapologetic. The wine is superior in its price range.
