Community Tasting Note

• TMOVino2 Likes this wine: 92 points

  December 22, 2019 - I need to drink more of this. Great aromas of raspberry, dried strawberries, maple bacon, dried herbs (bay leaf?). Gorgeous ruby red. The palate shares the fruit and some licorice with some great mineral laced throughout. I don’t have a real reference point for whether I popped this too soon or not as I know these can really age. I do know I’ll find more and enjoy exploring this region old and new! Which do you prefer old, young, or in between?

The tannins were still quite noticeable and I'd imagine another 3-5 years may serve this one well still. Definitely agree, would give these at least 5-7 years before drinking.
