Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 13, 2022 - This was hostile and sour when decanted and poured for a taste. Now it’s maybe 2 hours later and it’s very nice and still showing the vintage but not in an unpleasant way. Matt nails it right away as 88. Bricked with a ruby core. Gentle tobacco-herbal, some forest floor. Gentle fruit and spices. Light and elegant. High-tones, red, acidic with some tightness. Palate is mature and very pretty - (Matt says cherry cough syrup). Soft fruit, savory, a touch sour, game, dried meat, soy. Carob? Clear and precise finish. Tart red fruits and tobacco. This improved a lot with air, very classic now and the best that 88 has to offer. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.
