Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - Clear, med(-) purple in color, appears quite translucent.
The nose is clean, developing, showing med intensity aromas of black cherry liqueur, peppery spice, soil-driven notes, and orange rind.
The palate shows a dry wine, med(-) in body, med(-) in alcohol (listed 12.5%). Flavors are med intensity, and include black cherries, tense rocky minerality, raspberries, and black pepper. There is just a little heat on the palate, not too distracting, with med(-) tannins that are already approachable, with med(+) acidity, leading into a med length finish full of cherries, orange zest, and rocks. Delicious.
This is a very good quality wine that is just entering into its drinking window. It will improve over the next 4 years in bottle, and will drink quite well through 2022. A very nice, early drinking Beaujo that will last about a decade.
