Community Tasting Notes 30

  May 20, 2020 - From Riedel Bdx glass
  Deep garnet to rim, no signs of age.
  Jammy red and black fruits, volcanic dark mineral, flinty, graphite and herbs on the nose.
  On the palate this is still intense, young and bright. Medium acid, medium + tannin, medium + alcohol, medium+ finish.
  Purchased on release at the winery, this is just showing so youthfully still. The one big detractor is the heat which is why I can't give it more than 90 pts. Without the heat or if you don't mind it, this is really a great wine. If storage is good, I'd see this going another 5-10 years easy.

  August 20, 2019 - Bouquet: Initially a hint of rubber, blackberry, black currant, cherry and vanilla. Very aromatic. After 30 minutes the rubber is gone and is replaced with some earthy notes.
  Flavor: Burst of blackberry, black currant, dark cherry, moderate tannins and supporting acidity, dark chocolate. With time some black licorice/anise is noticeable. Decent 40 second finish.
  Comments: Good balance of intense berry, tannins and acidity. This could hold on a couple more years, but why wait? 91+

  August 8, 2019 - Popped and poured into glasses about 30 minutes prior to dinner. It was very good when we started dinner and excellent by the last glass.
  
  Nose reminds me of a good Bordeaux from a warm vintage. Lots of fruit and spice with hints of earth.
  palate was nicely complex and showed lovely balance of fruit and secondary notes of leather and tobacco.
  Finish was lengthy.
  Would buy again and for me this was at it's peak. Really lovely wine.

  November 18, 2018 - Loved this in 2013. It has really lost steam. Still drinkable and pleasant but little energy. There is some of the red cherry fruit and tobacco. Should have drunk up in 2013.
