Community Tasting Note

stet Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 9, 2022 - Color: dark ruby with violet reflexes
Nose: smashed olives and charred myrtle wood. Dark cherry. Caramel presumably from the barrel. Bruised herbs like rosemary and sage
Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-high tannins still grippy. Full body. Confirms the nose with some added very clear pomegranate molasses.
Finish: medium

Started with a whiff of cardboard, which thankfully after 2 hours of air blew off. I think this is still young ultimately, the tannins are burly. It has charm though, and a degree of power. Let's see how long I manage to hold on to my third bottle, especially since the previous one also had cardboard smells at the onset. Recommend 3 hours of air, room temp.
