Community Tasting Note

wineappellation Likes this wine: 97 points
August 25, 2018 - Mid ruby color. Complex aroma of violet, sandal wood, blackberry, plum, cigar box, smoky, sweet spices, tar like mineraity. Medium to full body, there are lot of subtances in there...waves of flavours coming out so layered and concentrated yet remaining ultra fine focus. Very long. Lots of ripe tannins, mainly primary and secondary stage now, best after 5-10 years. 97+

Tertiary are flavours from ageing - savoury, coffee, forest floor, nuttiness etc which is not quite present at the moment suggesting its youth.
