Community Tasting Note

• Psdycp wrote: 91 points

  May 21, 2021 - Forward and rustic bouquet of concentrated fermented bean paste, black berries, clove, star anise and old leather. Rich and almost oily palate with earthy spices and old leather furniture from entry to finish which has some chewy tannins. Intense and balanced structure. The mid-palate could open up more with a few more years of aging.
