Community Tasting Note

  • df1962 wrote: 92 points

    September 25, 2020 - PnD let air for 1hr.

    Clear medium ruby.

    Clean. Medium(+) intensity with aromas of plum cassis sage cedar and vanilla.

    Dry. Medium acidity. Medium(+) alcohol. Medium(+) tannins. Medium(+) body. Medium(+) intensity with flavours of blackberry cassis sage dark chocolate and cedar.

    Medium(+) fruit cake finish. Very good. Drink now suitable for further ageing. Awesome gusty Merlot big step up from their regular bottling. Could pass for a quality St. Emilion with some B.C. sage to give it away.
