Community Tasting Note

  March 26, 2022 - Revisiting this wine after consuming my other bottle 7 years ago. The juice is still alive and well.... and showing just fine. It reminds me how my palate and wine preferences have evolved over the years. 7 years ago it was about hedonistic fruit, richness, and a bold flavor profile. These days I seek out nuance, complexity, and the element of surprise.
  
  Actually found this bottle in the back of the cabinet and was not recorded in my CT account. Nice surprise... I would probably not purchase this today other than as a dessert wine.
  
  Expansive nose upon the cork release... Rich black cherry, loam, and blackberry coulis. Medium browning on the pour; but no surprise there. The fruit profile is about the same as 7 years ago / black cherry and blackberry. Not much in the way of secondary/tertiary notes. This has probably evolved as much as it is going to. Still enjoyable in a fruit forward fashion. Very well crafted for what it is.
