Community Tasting Note

capnfutsal Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 17, 2020 - Decanted and opens after about an hour. Fair amount of sediment at 60F - no problem. To the nose, blackberry, black plum, black cherry with slight black raspberry and hints of blueberry and boysenberry. Slight forest or moss. Slight leather which is gone as opens. On the palate, blackberry rules, with support from black cherry and plum, plus slight black raspberry and red cherry. White pepper > black pepper for spices. No leather, smoke or tobacco, but some vanilla or toffee? Tannins are in silky threads, barely providing support now. Full mouthfeel and medium length - almost fruit forward as it falls off at the midpoint. This is still lively. Alcohol is almost touching hot. Paired perfectly with steak. This is outstanding now, but not sure it will stretch much longer - drink by late 2021 or early 2022?
