Community Tasting Notes 19

    December 16, 2023 - Color hue clarity: purple, dark, opaque, deep

    Aroma bouquet: dirt, mushrooms, perfume

    Taste texture finish balance: quick finish, medium body, sour, pepper, juicy, slight tannins

    Overall: 3.5/5. Not a lot of depth, better as it breathes, good with cheese. 13.2% alcohol is a plus.

    December 4, 2023 - Popped and poured. Notes from 5 days open (mostly refrigerated in between, but also on the counter). Lovely syrah. On the nose: blackberry, loads of olive and bacon fat, cracked pepper. On the palate: excellent acidity, blackberry, solid density, cracked pepper. Nice weight and soft slightly grainy tannin on the spicy finish. This has ages ahead if this btl is representative.

    August 4, 2023 - Pretty thick and rich, more of a sipping wine than wine with food. Rich and spicy however with nice syrah and grenache character.

    July 16, 2023 - First bottle of this, I did not care for. I think it was in a dumb phase. drank the next bottle over 3 night. It was very good. No real tasting notes, I would buy and drink again for sure...

    February 1, 2023 - Produced by Bergstrom. Seemed big & heavy at first, but on day 3 this really came together. Boysenberry, violets, freshly cracked black pepper, a little cured meat, coffee/cocoa and stoniness. I would give this plenty of time in the cellar or a long decant.
