Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 30, 2018 - Opened and decanted. Left for about 30 minutes before tasting.

Kind of a cloudy crimson. Not fully bright. Not super concentrated.

Nose is fascinating. You have to dig the schnoz in there to get all of it, but it has cherries and anise on top but deep spice notes. Allspice, cardamom, bay leaves, and Christmas spices.

On palate - wine is sound. Medium acid, medium tannins, medium-low alcohol. Wine is juicy and spicy. Acidic and stemmy, sappy attack that settles softly onto the palate for a clean, short finish.

I’d say that this style is not really for me. It’s clearly a well-executed wine and thoughtfully produced, but the flavor profile and aromatics do not really resonate. I purchased a mixed case of this and some other Kutch so I am looking forward to trying the rest of them and also seeing what a little bit of age does to them.
