Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 4, 2020 - Wines that F**k to kick off the new year (Bob's, Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL): Nose: The nose is polished and perfumed with black cherries, raspberries, cranberries, licorice, dusty notes, violets, tobacco, leather, roses, and herbs. There is excellent depth and poise with a lot of well balanced fruit at this time.

Taste: The feel is Medium/full bodied with tart, medium+ acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins. The structure is very youthful but the feel is lovely and balanced with black cherries, raspberries, licorice, dusty notes, herbs, roses, and leather tones.

Overall: This is extremely young, but it's also extremely good. There is a lushness to the fruit with a good savory quality and good depth.

I wanted the '14 that was on the list in that little alley way eatery in Rome back in '18 but for some reason all they had in the cellar was the newly released '15 so we took it. It was young, but it was good and it hit the spot that night in Rome.
