Community Tasting Note

  • Rob Hansult Likes this wine: 94 points

    May 1, 2021 - Nose > So rich, lush, exotic & sexy.
    A mostly black/blue fruit profile with tremendous richness, excellent freshness; mineral infused.
    Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, violet, lavender & gorgeous, creamy, sweet, slightly smoky oak.
    Palate > Big, expansive, ripe, rich, taut & tight.
    The mountain of rich, dark, lush, fresh fruit starts to tighten up by mid-palate, & adds rich/ripe/slightly grippy grape tannins, & creamy, round, slightly smoky oak tannins.
    Great intensity, balance, depth, length. Excellent acidity.
    God Damn this is so fun, exciting & satisfying to taste already.
    This got an 8+ hour Slow-Ox.
    (94+)
