Community Tasting Note

  September 17, 2020 - Appearance: Colour is ruby with a pale rim. No sediment. Not a ton of legs and 13% alcohol.
  
  Nose: Good condition. Medium intensity. Anise. Red fruits—maybe cranberry or sour cherries. Light espresso.
  
  Palate: High acid, medium tannin. Flavours similar to nose: anise, sour cherries, maybe some tree bark. Okay table wine, though it's a little on the flat side. No lingering finish, no real complexity.
  
  Pairing: We're pairing it with Dominos pizza which seems appropriate. Would also pair with a light pasta—pesto or meatless tomato sauce. Would be flabby with heavier, meatier meals.
  
  Second day update: Preserved sour cherry notes are stronger. Cured meats on the nose, and maybe some pencil lead. Smoother and less sour. Definitely improved. Would open and air for an hour or two before drinking if we ever have this wine again.
