Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 1, 2021 - Cork, 14.5% alc. Cork in excellent condition.

Savoury nose of smoky and dusty blackcurrant, olive, vanilla, deli meats, and tobacco. Oak seems to be adding a different aroma than usual for this wine.

Fine, grippy tannins, yet the main structural element is acid. Sour-edged blackcurrant-dominated palate, that is somewhat lacking in freshness.

Opinion: This bottle had developed faster than expected. Looks better after a couple of days open, despite the initial lack of freshness. A slow-ox required at a minimum.
