Community Tasting Notes 5

March 17, 2024 - Blind tasting (5 bottles in $10 - $500 range) (The Sumoba compound): Nose: Soft red florals, soft purple fruits, tobacco type of spice with a gentle heat. Fruits are light and welcoming, showing some fun characteristics like pure gummy notes.
Palate: Gentle red fruits, some heat or softly spiced wet oak, damp top soil, and gentle bitter stones on the finish. The pure gummy note (neon berries) also is reflected on the palate with little time.

March 17, 2024 - But, you can buy 5 for the price of 1...: Good acid. Lots of blue fruit on the palate. Maybe slightly one dimensional. Backend pyrazine note for me that I had a hard time overcoming but despite that, this wine was good. Good value for $22.
