Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 4, 2023 - Having just opened a bottle of this about 6 seeks ago, this is much the same as then when I noted, “Nose of plum, molasses, boysenberry, classic rhubarb, licorice, Zin funk, with a bit, but not much coffee.” But what was different was the balance …this bottle felt less balanced with distinct alcoholic hotness. Also different was the noticeable sweetness on the attack, but as I noted from the last bottle, “this is not a shy wine.” I suspect the food choice may have contributed to the different perceptions between bottles. As always, this is a powerful wine. 14.8% alc. Not a lot of sediment. With homemade, Ooni fired pizzas (peperoni&onion, sausage&mushroom, mushroom&yellow pepper). 09.04.23. Recommended.
