Community Tasting Note

• jlhkiss Likes this wine: 93 points

  November 9, 2020 - Opened and decanted an hour ahead of roasted herb turkey breast. Cloudy garnet color. Perfumed nose of lavender, potpourri, red cherries, blackberries, and spring violets. The palate is medium, square, tight, and hot, bringing pomegranate, rhubarb, blackberry pie, huckleberries, more red cherries, hints of smoke and bitters, and lingering cloves on the finish. This is still wound up and squirrelly, with quite a bite of heat on the palate. However, the depth and complexity is outstanding, so this will be best 2024+. Technical score: 94. Enjoyment score: 92.
