Community Tasting Notes 7

  April 30, 2024 - As before but now taking on a nice richness and further complexity with this touch of age.
  
  This SKU is more olives and herbs, whereas their standard Ribaudes St Jo is pepper and red fruit (also lovely).
  
  This one seems to really start to pick up once it passes about 3 years from harvest.

  January 21, 2024 - Fantastic as ever. Old vine serine whose preservation Kermit helped facilitate. Now to everyone’s benefit. A perfectly sequenced parade of dark and inky fruit mixed with herbs and smoke, from the nose to the extended finish. Now time to restock.

  December 31, 2023 - Took top place in our blind tasting of Northern Rhone (all subregions represented), by a wide margin. Score one for Serine grape; this is 100% Serine. One of the only Northern Rhônes I drink and keep with regularity.

  Color: Med-dark to dark ruby.
  
  This wine was significantly better two days later on vacuvin. Which bodes will for the future of this wine.
  
  Nose: At this young age (late-2023), very primary, classic northern Rhône nose of smoky black/purple plum, blackberry, black olive, black licorice, violet, with a kiss of fusel smoke.
  
  Palate: Med-full body. Black plum, blackberry, black raspberry, and blk olive Syrah fruit. Light on its feet but with a rich, sweet mid-palate, yet tart finish. Soft tannins. 14% alc.
  
  I adore the 'soul' by this wine. Drinks fine now. Still, this would be better with more bottle age.

  Delicious and primary now.
  Best drinking window: 2025 to 2030.
  This will develop smokey, dried-cherry red fruits with age.
