Community Tasting Notes 34

  March 1, 2024 - Red berry fruit of cherry, fine aging notes of foliage and wet earth, sweet elements of liquorish. Combines a soft texture with a firm structure and a touch of sweetness on the palate. Still slightly mouthcoating tannins, but soft in nature. This is probably very close to prime drinking window, but with easily 10-20 years of life left.

  July 22, 2023 - Clear medium ruby with a tawny tinge in the glass. Intoxicating nose of red cherries, raspberries, vanilla, rosemary and thyme. Ripe and some sweetness the wine settles after at least an hour after opening and decanted. The taste profile is one of ripe fruit, vibrant but soft tannins. Tasting fresh and plenty of lovely fruit on the front, the middle palate has some syrupy sweetness that I noticed but finishes long with tertiary notes of tobacco and leather. Exciting wine and just when I was getting into it on a wife and kid free night the decanter was empty...

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of camphor, black pepper and black cherries. Flavors of black cherries, black currants and black berries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.
