Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 22, 2022 - The wine pours a fairly light purple with some slight bricking around the rim. Doesn’t look old, but you can tells it has a couple years on it. Pop and pour aromas are slightly muted and funky, but with 15-20 minutes in the glass it starts to open up. Brambly fruit and black cherries, cherry liqueur, earthy aromas like mushroom and dried leaves, as well as some purple flowers. I was a little worried at first but this opens up to be super complex.

Palate follows the nose with its complexity. Macerated cherries, flowers and herbs. Definitely a bit vegetal. I’m not sure if this is a whole cluster fermentation but it tastes like it. Tannins have integrated really well. They’re present but don’t punch you in the face. They serve as a great balance to the acidity that is still very apparent. Medium bodied with a long finish.

Another banger from Arnot-Roberts.
