Community Tasting Note

• Crusty Reader Likes this wine: 90 points

  June 6, 2020 - Paired with HOQ dinners, her quark-stuffed pork loin with bacon and asparagus risotto; my ribeye steak with red rice/Swiss chard with roasted root veggies.
  
  Opened and poured, no decanting. Softly tannic, deep ruby color. Dusty chocolate with cherry highlights. Opening and softening after a half hour.
  
  Should decant when next opened. Will be interesting to try over next few years. Tannins promise to mellow.

  6/7/20, 12:34 PM - Day 2 Has opened more; black cherries and blackberry forward, mocha-chocolate receded, hints of silica and Spring flowers, a little pepper in the finish. Young tannins still dominate.
  
  Patience will reward. Expect a good QPR in time. Check back in 2022.
