Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 26, 2021 - Powerful wine. Deep and brooding dark black and red fruits, but with a lovely earthy and herbal structure to it. Sage, worn saddle leather, natural process coffee grounds, fenugreek seeds, coriander, mustard seed, cinnamon. It's as if one is walking through an Indian spice bazaar. Muscular, grippy tannins and bright acidity bring everything together. Restaurant bottle, so not ideal conditions, but what an enjoyable wine nonetheless. This threw a lot of very fine sediment. I'd stand a bottle upright for a couple of days if drinking at home.
