Community Tasting Notes 22

  February 22, 2023 - Medium mahogany with ruby core. Nose is earthy, a bit rootsy. Palate is a bit tough and tannic, a little unyielding. This glass is via CV, but it has been poured for about an hour. Would definitely need a decant if opening the bottle. The flavours are rootsy and savoury, and it is a bit drying, but there is good cherry fruit, and the finish is quite long. I am prone to sticking these away for a few more years.

  March 19, 2022 - More interesting than fine. At first quite drying and medicinal... With a few hours of hair more secondary fruit and a gentler underside showed. Still a medicinal quality to it, but in an interesting way. Lots of herbs, cool blue fruit, and robust structure. No more upside here, but likely a few more years like this before decline. Found at a wine shop in CT for a good price a a month ago, and was glad to try.

  March 14, 2022 - Pop and pour. Last btl of a half case. On the nose: soft spiced wood, dried cherry, loads of herbs. Fully secondary. On the palate: good acidity, good density, soft spice, dark red fruit, soft medicinal herbs. Tannin shows a grip at first that fades quickly to a tangy slightly medicinal finish. Solid, but I wonder if this will survive to tomorrow.

  April 3, 2021 - Popped and poured yesterday, when it paired well with l'angoustine and basil pasta (we also had a viognier for all that). This btl was in the fridge last night, and in a refridgerated bag on the drive home today, but it seems toast now. Drinkable, but not compelling. Sigh, it was definitely better yesterday, but I didn't take notes then.

  October 6, 2020 - A good btl, but not as good as my first (better than I remember my last). On the nose:.the funk seems gone, but plum, spice, soft leather, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, excellent acidity, cranberry and spice, good density and and attenuated tannin on the slightly spicy and tangy finish. If this btl is representative, drink up.
