Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, April 20, 2014 - Aerated with a Vinturi and decanted for 2 hours. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, cherry, smoked meat, spice and minerals. A wild black and red berry fruit core with mocha, spice and fine tannins on the palate is balanced by a rich, jammy texture that leads to a persistent finish. Still youthful and benefited from the decant, but I'd recommend at least three hours. Alcohol heat was very noticeable after initially decanting, but dissipated with air time. Paired well with lamb.
