Community Tasting Note

TomH Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 3, 2018 - Bought from the twatmongering thief John Fox at Premier Cru, 24.99

Darker than I expected, barely translucent ruby throughout and little fading at edges. Good secondary development, earthy cedar aromas and whiffs of plum and black current. Slightly astringent tannins that I believe will outlive the fruit. Medium length, good mix of fruit and earth in nose. The CT drinking window is way optimistic in my opinion — it would be best to drink this in next five years before all that’s left are tertiary flavors and an overabundance of tannin. That being said - at 24.99, zero regrets except where I bought it from. Also, more enjoyable than the 2006
