Community Tasting Note

TannicBeast Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 10, 2019 - Fun tasting this again after some 18 months. Coravin Quite complex and still developing. Medium (+) to deep mahogany brown. Very thick and viscous it looks like used motor oil. The nose is clean, intense and quite complex, with molasses, raisins, prunes, caramel, dates, orange liqueur, espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut, almonds, toffee. The dried plums and dates definitely predominate at this point. The palate is sweet, almost cloying, with medium to medium (-) acidity, tannins and high alcohol (16%). The palate is consistent with the nose, but also shows a slight balsamic, savory, earthy component. It is drinking well now and should last indefinitely, with lots of potential for even greater complexity. It would be phenomenal if it had just a little more acidity. This is a very nice PX at a fair price. WS is 90, RP is 98. Drink now through at least 2022.
