Community Tasting Note

  • David J Cooper wrote: 93 points

    January 17, 2022 - Clear light red with a bit of brown. Medium intense nose, earth, cherry, currants, nutmeg and a bit of old wood. Dry delicious earthy cherry and spice flavours. The finish was tannic but in a non aggressive sort of way.

    I am very happy to drink this now. I am not sure it could get any better for my palate.
