Community Tasting Note

JRockEsq Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 4, 2022 - Method: slightly blind (knew it was 1 of 3 bottles); decanted for a few hours; Grassl 1855

Look: deep ruby

Nose: blueberry cobbler, spearmint, smoked paprika, violet, fain smoked meat; very expressive and complex nose

Palate: blackberry, blueberry, cedar; long finish of spearmint, wood smoke, leather, and violet; dry; full- body; medium plush and pretty silky tanning; high- acidity; low- heat

Overall thoughts: Nice concentration and body; great tannins. Great complexity and I love the spearmint note. The acidity is a bit too high and the very slight heat doesn't help. I'm interested in seeing where this goes with age, especially of the alcohol doesn't become too obvious. Great wine!
