Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 17, 2021 - Dark garnet color, not quite opaque. Writing this from half a (fridged) bottle remaining after being opened two days ago. On day one, the nose was strongly green and herbal, and the wine fairly tight, unyielding, and tannic. Much of that green herbal character has dissipated, leaving more green tobacco, white pepper, hints of dark fruit; the palate shows deep red fruit, dominated by dried herbs and spice, hint of orange peel, with perfectly balancing acidity, and moderate fine tannic structure. Incipient complexity galore, but backward and brooding at this young age. I wouldn’t touch this for 5 years at minimum, and probably hope to be drinking a peak bottle in a decade and beyond.
