Community Tasting Note

  January 25, 2021 - Very fruit forward, like a California or a Southern Rhone. From a warm area and the alcohol is as well. Great for Winter. Glad I tasted a Musar with some age.
  *2nd night getting nicer also a sweet acetone element coming through.
  *3rd night acetone boiling out and evaporating (going to the big sky), tannins a bit rough of course third night in the presence of O2.
