Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 16, 2018 - This wine has been a black hole, dark and stern almost rustic and is just now starting to round out. It's still very dark, with iodine, black licorice, black olives, asphalt and roasted meat more than dark berry fruit. A dense, powerful, structured and firm wine, yet in last the few years, it has gotten some softness around the edges. Still a dark muscular and dense wine, but with sap and breadth to go with its depth now. On the palate, dense and dark, more savory than fruit driven with dark herbal and leather in the background. There is good acidity (for Grenache) that keeps it form being heavy. This comes off a little feral and wild, a carnivore's wine for sure. There is darkness and wildness that I love in this powerful, until recently overtly stern wine that seems to be coming into its own of late. Hedonists run away from this wine. No rush to drink this. I am really liking what some '95s are turning into.
