Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 3, 2023 - There is a lot going on here. It’s a big wine - alcohol at 14.5%, high tannins that are still quite evident although quite ripe, and pronounced fruit and oak - plum, blackberry, dark cherry, chocolate, vanilla, smoke, earth. There is also a hint of brettanomyces - whether you like this or not probably depends on how much you see this as a fault or adding complexity (I’m in the latter camp). As usual for a wine dominated by mouverdre, the acidity is not high, but this has the structure to age and soften - it needs time.

  October 17, 2022 - In your face, tannic, olive, tar and briar meets plentiful dark cherry and blackberry but structurally contained and focussed by the acid frame.
  
  I found very enjoyable for its style and sense of place as a Mourvèdre heavy red with Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan. Could well do with a few more years.
  
  Not for the faint hearted. Bold but structured

  August 16, 2022 - This is a tannic and tarty bastard. Did wrongly not open it in right time. Next day much better. Suggest I decant a day before consumtion otherwise it gets stuck in my throat.
