Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 3, 2023 - Popped & poured, consumed over a period of three evenings. Good red and dark fruit, red cherry, black currant, blueberry, blackberry, light vegetal notes, light bell pepper, earth, light chocolate, some cedar, graphite, and spices, with good acidity, ripe, round tannin, and very good length. On day one, popped & poured there is a huge hole where the mid-palate should be, before the wine re-emerges with a long, fruity finish. On day two, the wine is juicy, driven by graphite and sour blue fruit, if still with the same huge hole in the middle. On day three, however, the wine has fleshed out a little in the middle, but the tannin and a light astringency starts to show on the finish. The wine has good concentration, and very good complexity, but only average structure, and a weak mid-palate. A vintage that drinks well early and should be consumed over the medium term. 90(-)
