Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 24, 2015 - (Had at Barsac wine bar, Gothenburg)

The wine has a medium intensity, lemon color.

Developing nose with a pronounced intensity. Aromas of really ripe stone fruit - peach, mango and pineapple, grilled lemon, baked yellow apple, crushed stones and a hint of cap gun smoke. Looooots of toasty oak, butter, butterscotch, hazelnuts and popcorn. Lovely powerful nose!

Dry on the palate with a medium(+) acidity and medium(+) body. Medium(+) intensity with flavors of fat stone fruit, baked pineapple, lemon juice, cap gun smoke, oak, fudge, butter and hazelnuts. The finish is medium(+), bordering on long.

This wine is a beast. Big and powerful with truckloads of ripe fruit that balances the generous oak treatment. The acidity is fresh and vibrant keeping the wine from getting flabby. Drinking terrific today but has potential for further developing.
