Community Tasting Notes 2

  July 23, 2020 - Drank blind last nite with the Xtremo crowd. No one guessed it as right bank Bdx, tho some expressed their belief that is 'might' be a Bordeaux blend--SW was waaaay off! (I thought was northern Italian Piedmont, lol). Expressive nose of black cherries-my fave quality of the wine. Medium body, plenty of black fruit on the palate, good amount of mouth-puckering acidity. Not particularly long or complex. The 14.5% alcohol was not initially apparent but became more so as we drank the wine. Not a particularly memorable wine, and I'm unsure how reflective of the fine 2015 vintage it actually is as I haven't had many yet (tho we did taste a 2015 Pomerol last week which was far superior to this wine).

  June 26, 2020 - Really expressive chocolate covered cherries, spiced black plum, licorice. But it’s also nicely earthy and floral as well. It’s concentrated and ripe, expressing the vintage. Big bones but also very well structured and should age extremely well. It’s a little roasted right now. Give it time. 65% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc 12% Cab Sauv, with 3% Malbec aged in 50% new/50% 1 yr old French oak for 15 months.
