Community Tasting Note

  January 14, 2020 - Medium Ruby, clear with garnet rim.
  
  Nose: Elegantly perfumed black cherry, violet flower, cinnamon, sagebrush, hint of leather undersaddle. Ethereal, even haunting- really beautiful.
  
  Mouth: Succulent, pure black cherry opens up smooth and round, unfolding into a generous midpalate of tobacco leaf, menthol, and black earth. A bolt of iron comes through into the finish, lingering with the earth notes and pleasant, manicured tannins.
  
  Overall: This is remarkable for how it well it has tamed often rowdy flavors of earth and iron, keeping them full and expressive without ever allowing them to overwhelm. Everything is well-groomed, balanced and firm: like weightlifters on a tightrope. Drink from 2023, should hold up until the late 2030's. 80% Sangiovese, 13% Merlot and 7% Malvasia Nera.
  
  96.
