Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 13, 2020 - Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep red. No real age showing. On the nose : Currants , plum and graphite and a slight hint of vanilla. On the palate : Red currants, plum and violets with some savory notes that come it at the end. Long finish. Good mouthfeel with nice weight. Excellent wine. Old school at 13 % alcohol. I wish I had a case.
