Community Tasting Note

kkazaks Likes this wine:

Monday, April 2, 2018 - In appearance, what could be called the personification of medium garnet fading to brick orange.

Demurely poignant nose of black and orange pekoe tea, blood orange, allspice and other spices gently whirled together, red fruits, smoke, black ash, cigar tobacco and cigar ash, earth, a gravelly soil tone quality, as well as fine floral fragrances and a touch of cedar.

Really quite fine here on the nose after some air. The black earth and gravelly soil appear more in the center of the aromas, wrapped by a very pleasant warm red earth quality. A bouquet to smell for a long time.

Easy drinking on the palate at 12% alcohol, the palate continues the wine's signature of warm red earth, gentle red fruits which are still fresh if not juicy (more in line with the aromas of fresh red fruits, rather than the flavor thereof). The ash and smoke signature is a bit more prominent here than on the nose (a bigger part of the palate picture), while the persimmon and other red-orange fruit markers linger.

Really quite elegant; a real treat tonight.
