Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 4, 2019 - Tasted blind. This wine is still drinking nicely but definitely on the downward path with some first nasty age aromas showing on the palate - although at this point with very low intensity so that it might be even seen as a feature. But definitely don‘t wait much longer.

TN: Beautiful nose with stems, cola, mint and dark and red fruit. Nicely aged and very balanced and precise. Dark and red fruit, some nice barnyard funk but especially a lot of herbal aromas and a nice minerality on the palate. Blind I thought of a Napa Cab blend with a substantial part of Cab Franc with some age. The structure is nice with soft tannins and a good freshness. The only thing that really brings this experience down is the hints of hosin sauce which indicate that the wine might soon die.

Decanting: Not decanted, not decant needed.
