Community Tasting Note

Nipperu Does not like this wine:

Saturday, July 18, 2020 - clear deep ruby

Nose of fresh black fruit, plums
Vanilla, spice
Alcohol/menthol
Hint of graphite pencil
Not a lot otherwise

Dry
Med+ tannins
Med+ acidity
Med body
Med- finish
Med alcohol
Very short on the palate, not much impression of fruit, what there was seemed dusty and dried.

Overall meh. Bargain bin buy but would not get another bottle. Tannins too harsh for the fruit- by the time they're manageable it'll be like drinking tea colored alcohol.

Edit: after a 90min decant - tannins have greatly moderated. Now drinkable but not entirely pleasant. Finish is short but alcohol burn lingers - a little unbalanced.
