Community Tasting Notes 5

  January 24, 2018 - I continue to be quite pleased with the evolution of this. The tannins are now fully resolved resulting in a silky smooth mouthfeel. Flavors continue to be primarily fruit driven with only a little of Bordeaux typicity, but still quite pleasant. At this priceci wish I had a few more in the cellar. Www.vincrush.com

  December 5, 2016 - An improvement from last year. This is tasting more like a typical Bordeaux now with more earthy tones... not quite pencil lead... but at least wet earth layered in with the fruit. Nice round full body. Great QPR with the way this one is drinking right now.

  February 24, 2016 - Rather leathery, which was softened greatly by Vinturi. Nonetheless, too much leather for our taste. Unless the bottle was flawed, this might need a year or two before it is in balance.

  January 19, 2016 - Blunted nose and palate suspicious of it being cooked. Brick color.

  October 21, 2015 - Enjoyable but kind of one dimensional. Fruit forward, although not juicy or sweet by any means. Aroma and palate of mild red fruits with maybe just a touch of dustiness. In balance. Tannins present but in the background. Overall a great QPR and a nice everyday drinker. I would buy again for $15 or under.
