Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 21, 2022 - Impulse open - no slow ox.
Very pale cerise, from a certain angle almost colourless like a ‘75 Burgundy, with faint bricking.
Subdued, slightly musty nose, citrus, charcuterie, fried sweet meats, truffles, a faint thread of spice, lichen rocks, old canvas.
Fully structurally resolved palate with balanced acidity, rather thin though persistent and somehow intensity comes out more on the long finish. Mild morning cigar, cherry confection, spice, citrus. Gains refinement with air and sheds the mustiness… growing on me.
