Community Tasting Note

dhwesley Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 17, 2024 - Minimal sediment, inky purple-black in color. Nose is immediately apparent: cloves, cherry cola, smoke, perhaps ever so slightly medicinal. Initially the palate is clearly well crafted but nothing special, balanced, good tannic backbone. The length is already impressive with an earthy, mushroomy finish.

With more air a distinctive pepper note emerges, smoke, mint. A well constructed wine with no lack of structure. Despite the open nose, to me it feels austere and undoubtedly a bit young. I am looking forward to opening my next bottle - but only after a few more years in the cellar.

93 points for its current showing but I'm looking for much more upside potential over time.
