Community Tasting Note

dsgris Likes this wine:

Monday, June 26, 2017 - Inky dark ruby with cassis nose. Dry savory fruit a bit of smoky tannins that are softening. Bold fruit and body with a lot of earthy, leather, balsam and forest notes. Tart cherries, olive brine with some nice acid to balance the fruit and tannnins. Lovely after 16 years, supposedly this Verbena wine was made to drink young, but has aged well. I need to start drinking some of my older Italians. Three nights later and this is going strong, chewy tannins, brambles and cherries witha good streak of tartness and complexity. A thick body balanced well by the tart fruit.
