Community Tasting Note

  • tak4 wrote: 88 points

    October 2, 2020 - Popped and poured but tasting note performed after a couple of hours open.

    Wine is a brick-crimson with a clear edge. Not particularly bright. Can't see through it.

    On nose, wine is fairly evocative - red fruit, baking spice, and that ferrous tomato note.

    On palate, acid predominates. Tannins have softened nicely and the wine is dry. Not much of a finish.

    A good wine but not awesome. Pretty simple on the palate but the nose is really nice. My guess is that this was not that great earlier on in its life as the tannins plus acid on the palate would have overpowered anything else. Drink up.
