Community Tasting Note

  January 24, 2018 - Dark red color. There was a huge amount of sediment so I decanted it and put it back in the bottle.
  Dull nose slowly opened to medicinal cherries, sweet spices and a bit of creosote like funk.
  On the palate, a different story: Sleek, intense candied black cherry / purple berry fruit with a whole cabinet of baking spices with a clove & pepper bottom. Not very zin like, in fact blind I would have guessed a strange blend of pinot noir, aglianico, and maybe 20% zinfandel! 15% alcohol, but no heat and almost weightless considering the expected heft. Long, sleek and lovely, though also unusual.
