Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 - Generous pour from my neighbor. I could smell the Cab Franc immediately. Unfortunately for my old world palette this lacked complexity, bit mono toned w somewhat a very slight shoe polish edge to the finish. Was certainly drinkable just not what I prefer.

Decent balance with some intense charred berry notes. Did not wow me or move me at all. New world for sure, and with pasta the heat came thru big time. 15.2% is obnoxious, and really present with food for some reason.

I remember falling in love w QC when I had the 99 and 01 back in the day and bought cases of it. They haven't held up well unfortunately or my tastes have changed. Me thinks a bit of both!!
