Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 23, 2023 - Had two bottles within 6 days, and providing notes and numbers for second bottle which was slightly better (96 v 92). still nearly opaque purple with a strange bit of red at core. A bit hollow for first 20 minutes after decanting, then began putting out deep fruit of cherries and plum, but also mushroom. I could have guessed it was not a Bordeauxnot a Bordeaux or any cab or Merlot based wine, but truthfully, could not have ruled out a big CA PN like a high ABV Bevan or Peter Michael's. Tertiary odors also started to emerge after 75 to 90 min--cigar box, tobacco. Very, very good bottle of a large, fruit - forward (but not pathologically so) CA SOMETHING (I forget what where the exact blends, but reminded me of a Rhone Ranger).
