Community Tasting Note

• Badmonkey wrote: 90 points

  November 9, 2018 - Plum Market Luxury Wine Tasting. Dark ruby fruit - currants, dark cherry, dark raspberry, and a little blackberry. Decent depth/concentration for the price point but a little tannic and the fruit came across a little closed. Fairly long finish but also a little tannic. Apparently the bottles were open for a couple hours before serving. Not bad but this vintage clearly needs a couple years for the fruit to soften/open-up. 89/90 at this stage in my opinion. 100% cab.
