Community Tasting Notes 21

  January 22, 2021 - Decanted a few hours.
  Dark opaque purple color. Almost black at the core.
  Rich extracted spicy nose of plums, anise, dark chocolate and a little mint.
  Palate shows more lift and freshness than the nose lets on. Slight reductive signs of age on the palate that are nice.
  Drink now. Nice drinker for around $50.

  April 25, 2018 - Opened the bottle for an hour plus. Tannins are almost fully resolved and definitely ready to go with exception of some heat on the finish. Earthy truffle and roasted beef on the nose complemented by stewed redfruit. The palate is sweeter with plenty of extracted raspberry and milk chocolate. Almost a chalky unintegrated quality throughout. Nonetheless easy to drink and enjoy especially in the sub $50 range.

  January 20, 2018 - Solid effort and drinking very well right now. The fruit is blackberry and currant, very well rounded. Creamy texture of unsweetened cocoa, toasty oak, blackberry liqueur, and subtle earth and leather. Dusty smooth tannins with a nice long finish.

  April 7, 2016 - Chocolate and raspberries on the nose and pallet, it isn't doing much for me right now. Tannins are way too strong. Doesn't show significant depth of concentration or layered flavor profile. Maybe I am drinking too many 2013's napa cabs, which seem to be incredible, but this is a bit of a letdown at the moment. Perhaps time will make it more approachable.
