Community Tasting Note

  December 23, 2018 - This was given 2 hours of air but not decanted. Red cherry color with very thick legs. Nose is muted at first but starts to reveal its feminine charm after a short while. Pungent, beguiling bouquet of strawberries, cherries, violets, fermented soybean, duck prosciutto and potpourri. On the palate, wine is velvety, luscious and rich with just a touch of rustic tannins to keep things from being ethereal. The bite is essential as it provides balance. Flavors are still primary for now given its youth. Strawberries, leather, soy sauce, salted plums, oak, and kirsch dominate the core. Acid is somewhat muted nonetheless. Finish is long, beguiling and fruity with a kick of smoke. That said, the palate is a tad thin, or elegant and weightless, as some may say. Great effort with high QPR.
