Community Tasting Note

dsamuel Likes this wine:

Friday, April 26, 2024 - Double Blind tasting
Medium ruby color with mild rim clearing and mild bricking
Medium plus aromas of black cherry/ plum with rhubarb/ leather and cigarette ash - dried florals/potpourri notes appearing with time in the glass - no new oak notes
Medium plus bodied with palate of red/ black cherry with syrup notes and again ash notes
Medium plus medium grained tannins and medium plus alcohol with medium plus acidity
I initially was thinking volcanic origin due these ashy notes but this really didn't match the other findings
I called this Aglianico but really didn't feel the color was right
Floral/ potpourri notes didn't really become evident until opened for a while
I really enjoy this wine and see better things to come - would hold 5-7 yrs or now with a healthy decant
