Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 23, 2023 - Deep red/orange in the glass with orange/amber edges. And opaque. Lovely and complex nose with black cherry, dark chocolate, orange peel with some tobacco. Similar notes on the palate. Soft and plush mouthfeel with some nice fine grained tannins on the finish. Despite all of these positive attributes. The wine was dominated by an overall stewed and muddy quality that greatly detracted from enjoyment.

I began drinking this one from a case back in 2016. I scored it very highly at that time. It then became tight so I decided to wait for my remaining bottles. And now.... It's somewhat of a muddy mess, imo.

Wish I had drank all of them back in 16........as I think it's not great now and will be downhill from here.

But it was really stunning back in 2016.......
