Community Tasting Note

  • rcg62 Likes this wine: 94 points

    November 20, 2020 - Nose really ripped as I was decanting. Super dark. Dark cherry, violets and tobacco on the nose, but also some iodine and anise. So plush on the mouth. Lots of tangy black cherry. And there is again that anise, or even eucalyptus. I get something a tad green on the finish, maybe it’s that eucalyptus again. (Not to be picky but it’s a tad funky.) Drinking well but youthful.
