Community Tasting Notes 8

    May 28, 2020 - A bruiser, drying tannin. Wait 10 years and hope for the best.

    September 12, 2019 - The nose is herbal with hints of game. The palate is still explosive with rosemary and thyme on the attack, transitioning to black pepper and vivifying acidity. The finish still quite tight with drying tannins balancing the acidity.

    September 16, 2016 - waited 5 years and indeed the wine matures into something more elegant and complex, still a bit of heat but otherwise quite classic. Fruit was not prominent, even 5 years ago. This one is really herbal, earthy and not about fruit.

    January 22, 2016 - Deep and dark color. Intense fruit and spices on the nose. Smooth, but extremely powerful in the mouth. The wine has evolved positively the last years and appears now more powerful with plenty of fine tannins, and promises a long life. On the negative side there is some evident residual sugar.

    September 29, 2013 - Slightly unclean, both nose and taste, and big angular tannins although the fruit is there. Most likely a light cork taint.
