Community Tasting Note

  • z_willus_d wrote: 92 points

    October 28, 2020 - This wine, while extremely over-oaked, is also extremely easy to love. It's got the fruit intensity levels turned up eleven, but it in check with the structure, acid, and tannic backbone of this wine. That balance has certainly served this bottle well. Floral, musky aromas abide and swirl around the oak vanillin and coconut impressions. The wine is heavy bodied but again balanced. No problem with alcohol here. Very lovely, cabernet like fruit qualities. Hard not to like this.
