Community Tasting Note

• mclanew Likes this wine: 94 points

  October 24, 2020 - Popped and poured. Nice nose of red cherry, olives and leather but a little rustic. The palate on the other hand is outstanding and very much a live with red cherries, strawberry with complex leather and earth notes coming through. Medium bodied with fully resolved tannins but good energy this feels like it can continue to hold at this state of maturity for a long time

  Cheers,
