Community Tasting Note

• Yack Man wrote: 93 points

  September 3, 2019 - Soft nose and enticing dark red purple color. On the palate, dark berry fruits, dark cherry, traces of bitter cranberries and dark raspberries. This was a pop and pour but this wine was inhibit at first, but it did start start to open and showed better with time. Nice soft fruit and more elegant in style and structure, but I expected a better experience so I was a little disappointed. In conclusion, this wine went from a 91 to 92-93 points. Good wine but there are better values out there for my palate.
