Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 25, 2024 - Cavallotto Dinner (Acquerello, San Francisco): Dark ruby, much more saturated than the 2019. Heady nose with some VA and a strong whiff of wintergreen. Bigger, lusher, and lower acidity than the younger wine. Rich, sweeter palate, very chocolatey but more cherry pit as well. Lots of soil and some harshness from the alcohol on the finish. Too much for me and wanting more balance and restraint for all of its power.
