Community Tasting Note

mks83 Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 13, 2022 - Day 1 - Expressive/ripe/deep gamay, almost Zin/Primitivo-esque rather than pinot-esque. Blackish crimson color, dark at the core and bright at the rim. Prune, dark cherry, hibiscus, dark spices (up to here zin-like), on top of more typical raspberry, cooked strawberry, cranberry which are equally intense. Tannin is thick but extra soft - mostly unstructured with lightly muddy texture. High-ish square shaped acidity is giving some solid muscular frame. Medium+ but high pitched fragrant finish. Multi-layered, good focus and clarity. At its peak - drink up. 91.

Day 2 - tannin/acidity got firmer. Concentration of biting dried prune itself. Ashy/earthy aftertaste - now almost like Piedmont Dolcetto/ Puglia Primotivo hybrid. Excellent but totally atypical - 90-91.

Day 3 - tastes like aged touriga Nacional. Still atypical/deep/bold. 90.
