Community Tasting Note

WojteG Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 4, 2024 - 4 months ago I had a fantastic 2017 vintage(97 points !) Let's check out this one.

I think this wine is at its peak. Harmony, balance, mellowness - top notch. My subjective complaint - not enough concentration of fruit flavors or maybe it it like this by design. Who knows.
We have a lot of herbs, cocoa powder (!), tobacco and after these we have some fruit like blackberry and black cherry. Soft spice from the beginning to the end (nice). Soft acidity and tannins. If you expect muscular wine it's not here. If you like finesse one - you will be in heaven.
15% ABV and absolutely no alcohol bite!
May I say this is "slow wine" in the aspect, that you don't want to take one sip after another.
The right word is - delectable. Great with cheese, baguette, salami or completely solo.

2012 vintage got 92 points according to the WA Vintage Guide. Outstanding. Early maturing and accessible.
