Community Tasting Note

• solana Likes this wine: 95 points

  January 19, 2018 - A beautiful wine that has hardly budged since me review 2 years ago. One bottle left, when to drink it? On the aging curve of my experience there is no end point discernible, but I doubt I will wait that long!
  
  Ruby colored with only the slightest orange at the edge,
  Deep floral, violet, flower nectar aromas with cream of blueberry / cherry and cola fruit. Sweet baking spices hint around the edges.
  The flavors fan across the palate in layers like waves overtaking each other on the beach. As it continues to open the berry flavors deepen from matching the aromas to a blueberry / boysenberry quality with creamy cola, baking spices and floral nectars weaving together. Initially the acids made themselves known on the sides of the palate, but grew less and less noticeable while still framing and extending the fruit. The finish is endless with the cream / cola flavor the strongest, but really all the flavors continue to weave together to the end. Anyone who is dissapointed in this wine and wishes to sell well stored bottles please send me a message!
