Community Tasting Note

Eric Guido Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 7, 2019 - Here I found a beautiful mix of sweetly-spiced ripe cherries and coco, followed by dusty dried roses, hints of cedar, and crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, I found creamy textures, with juicy acids ushering in ripe red fruits and confectionary spice, a hint of balsamic, sweet herbal tones and slow-mounting tannins--yet so enjoyable already. The finish was long, remarkably fresh and lifted, displaying a sweet herbal tea note, hints of menthol, dried cherries and light tannins.

I am impressed, as the 2013 Vie Erte continues to improve in the bottle. It may not be a twenty-year wine, but it's impossible to ignore right now, and each time I taste it, it seems to get better.
