Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 25, 2017 - Someone wrote "rhubarb" in an earlier note - well spotted! Poised between youth and maturity, with some slightly syrupy, strawberry fruit, good acidity, mature tannins, and a slightly green, but not unpleasant edge, that comes across as rhubarb. Seems like it has a lot of interesting components, but at an awkward stage right now. Good length. I think this needs another five years for the components to integrate. And as a matter of personal taste, I'm not sure i like the character of the slightly sickly sweet strawberry fruit.
