Community Tasting Note

RGCM Gananda Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 11, 2020 - Prior bottle was nearly 4 years ago and this wine continues to show well. Red cherry, red berries, earth and leather on the nose. Remains between medium and full bodied with the red cherry notes upfront retaining good brightness. Mid-body continues to integrate, showing a touch more depth and a bit more roundness with adding some tart red cherry and darker plum notes. Backside retains acidity and tannin based structure along with the higher toned, tart red fruit. Minerals, spices and floral qualities on the finish. While this wine has certainly come together as I'd hoped, it hasn't taken that extra step to justify the score I originally gave it. It has the structure to continue to age and perhaps show some additional modest improvements. However, it fell a touch short of the balance, harmony and depth I was looking for. Make no mistake, this is a very good wine, well worth the price, but a slight step down from the heights I originally imagined it would climb. I will try my next bottle in Summer/Fall 2021.
