Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 10, 2022 - Bought from secondary market a few years ago. Dark red with bricking. Beautiful nose of plums, ripe cherries, cedar and a hint of eucalyptus. Some dustiness in the background. Palate much the same with the dark fruit flavors up front and through the mid palate, then the acidity adding freshness to the finish. Over the course of two hours, the wine progressively improved with the riper fruit flavors calming down and becoming more integrated, the acidity coming more into the front to give a sour cherry note, and fine tannins coming out more to give it nice body. Nicely concentrated.

The wine became a really harmonious note from start to finish at the end instead of an mix of different parts, with a long finish lasting over a minute thanks to the acidity and tannins. Spectacular wine, and this particular bottle could have lasted another 3-5 years. These BV wines can be really hit or miss, but I got really lucky on this one.
