Community Tasting Notes 4

    November 14, 2020 - This wine is drinking great right now and still has a number of years ahead. Dark fruits and cedar changed over the hour we were drinking, getting richer and stronger. Have one more in cellar that I’ll leave for a couple more years.

    February 4, 2017 - Loud nose, typical of place. Extracted, somewhat angular mouthfeel, and harsh bitters at the back. Overdone.

    November 5, 2016 - Raspberry and other red fruit, decent tannin, good at price point

    April 2, 2016 - Cherries with some herbal spiciness. Faint plum. Decanting certainly helped, and it needed it, bringing it to a point of being a good value but not anything I'd seek out again.
