Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 6, 2022 - Prior bottle was almost 14 months ago and this wine has improved more than I had anticipated in that time. Black cherry, blackberry and earth notes on the nose with the vanilla now a more balanced background note. Medium bodied with the same mix of black cherry and blackberry as prior bottles, but with noticeably more nuance. As this wine has opened up, the fruit notes have taken on extra dimensions. The softer black cherry has opened up and contrasts well with the brighter black cherry while the blackberry has both darker, deeper notes that almost get to plum as well as higher and brighter notes. These elements are tied together with tannins and acidity on the backside that have improved balance with the fruit. Minerals, earth and spices make up the finishing notes with the mineral qualities perhaps taking on slightly more prominence. Overall, this wine has come together better than I'd hoped and in a fashion it should be able to maintain for several more years.
