Community Tasting Note

OttawaB Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 1, 2017 - Dark but semi-transparent purple red in color. Bright looking (not dull) .... vibrant.
Nice subtle plums, dark berries, and floral aromas. Earthiness, tobacco, herbs/sage, all wrapped in a nice milk chocolate wrapper.
Full bodied. Changes over time in the glass ... evolves. Again with ripe plums, berries with a dusty creaminess. Almost chewy. Drying dusty tannins still showing a noticeable presence. Good acidity. Not juicy .... drying. Nice sweet baking spices and dried fruits on the mid palate.. There is a few interesting components I can't quite place .... like a bit of bitterness, some form of sweetish red fruit that peaks in and out. It is a strange fruit and I can't place it.
Good balance.
Overall this is a really nice package. It should continue to age and evolve ..... into what I am not sure. This is a different wine. Superb.
