Community Tasting Note

Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 21, 2021 - decanted two hours prior to tasting

medium red color with some bricking, slightly meaty cassis and mulberry nose with soft bramble tones, on the palate fully mature- a very fruit driven Magdelaine, light pepper on the finish and the typical forest and bramble notes more in the background of a wine driven by sweet and slightly gamey fruit, after the genteel and pleasant mid-palate the snappy finish with soft acids kicks in to bring it all into balance, at first (2 hours after decanting) the wine was a bit austere and almost thinning on the tail end- but after another hour of air it fleshed out to better balance the midweight mid-palate, cuddly cherry notes with time, cloves, all-in-all a fully mature Magdelaine that is a bit more fruit driven than usual and with just a bit of rough and tumble at the tail end suggesting it should be consumed fairly soon.

***+, ready to drink and drink soon
