Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Thursday, July 13, 2023 - Commanderie Exec Committee Meeting (The Kenwood, Mpls, MN): Dark red color. PNP, drank a glass plus over 2 hours. Just gorgeous again; the nose brings so much leather, funk, pencil shavings and fine tobacco; red and black fruits, cassis, raspberry, silky texture and medium plus body. The tannins are plush as is the overall feel, so well balanced, with a touch of chokecherry on the finish. Just splendid and probably at or near peak.
