Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 25, 2022 - Wow, has this fleshed out over the past year. A bit reductive at opening but 30 mins plus and it is dark berries and cured meat. On the palate it’s medium plus in weight and great balance of maturing fruit, acid and alcohol are integrated with the fine tannins. Really well made.
