Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 2, 2024 - Primary but showing its wares. Terrific nose of fresh cracked black pepper, black cherries and a soupçon of garrigue, a bouquet that harkens to both the earthiness of the Old World and the richness of the New. The palate is less ready, showing a little spritz on the pop and pour, but it pulls together quickly with some air. Aside from some tongue tightening tannin and grip, this is drinking well, with layers of sappy lavender, iodine, cloves and some heady fruit. Flashy yet balanced, rich enough to enjoy on its own but I bet this pairs well with fowl or stew. Drink now if you’ve got a stash or hold one for another 5 years to try when it’s relaxed a little. Excellent and a great QPR at release pricing.
