Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 2, 2015 - Pop and pour. Camphor and bandaid on the nose. On the palate, blackberry, black pepper, tobacco, and a bit of cocoa on the medium to long finish, with good acidity and light furry tannins that fade over 30 minutes or so. Some alcohol does show through on the finish, giving the wine a liqueur-like mouthfeel, but it isn't at the point of being detrimental, even though the label shows 15.5% alcohol. This seems to be right in the middle of its drinking window; it can probably go for a year or two before it starts to drop off. This was good value for money at about $45.
