Community Tasting Note

    March 23, 2021 - Very nice, medium powerful, sweet bouquet of cassis, dark cherry and liquorice.
    Very drinkable and smooth, lighter in body than you would expect. Tannins are nicely integrated. There is a slightly bitter/tart ending to the finish, maybe from the high alcohol?
    Overall, very nice wine and certainly one of the best vintages of this house in the last two decades. However, it lacks harmony in the finish to push on to higher scores.
