Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Tuesday, March 23, 2021 - Subsequent notes on this wine from five years ago. Deep, dark reddish-garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Fill, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with classic overtones of cedar, floral notes of violets, earthy/dusty, graphite/iron, tobacco & leather, minerals, herbs, eucalyptus/mint, cocoa, spices, & a touch of oak & vanilla. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruits of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with earthy, spices, herbs, cocoa, minerals, oak & a hint of vanilla. Long lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present but has the fruit, structure & balance to hold for a few more years although I doubt any further development would occur from additional aging. Even at 30 years of age, it is a remarkable wine. Cork was clean & intact; fill was mid-level in neck.
