Community Tasting Note

JohnMcIlwain Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 22, 2022 - A little “stank” on opening, but air does a world of good. Morellos and crushed herbs with a bit of iron dust and game on the nose. The palate is a bit more forthcoming than the nose with underripe cherry, sousbois, and a mineral core that straddles the line between rust and iodine. Mouthwatering acidity and dusty tannins help to clean the palate with food (mushroom ragu and pasta). This shades more herbaceous (pleasingly so) than overtly fruity, but gottdamn this is satisfying as hell. I’d wait before opening another bottle, but this sapid enough that I’ll be looking to sock away a few. Very good indeed.
