Community Tasting Note

Aplaidlad Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 31, 2016 - Note covers various tasting over 1hr decant
Colour: matte brick/russet, the opacity is reminiscent of blood. Clings to the glass. A nice wine to look at.

Nose: slow to open up, but rewards with big chocolate notes - you can almost taste it just by smelling. Dark fruit like plum, black cherry, and dried figs. Blueberry syrup. There's a light, red-fruit component as well, with strawberry and raspberry cutting the deep and meaty smells

Palate: impressively robust and complex. Dark flavours up front, with leather, anise, black cherry, and oak as the key players. A racy acidity parches the palate in the background, as does a moderate tannin that fades evenly with the other flavors. Well balanced, but needs a great deal of time to open up.
