Community Tasting Note

Matt Neel Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 19, 2023 - Perfect blood. Nose is deep and mineral, lots of blood and viscera; turned soil; above that is kirsch and creosote, and higher yet is a wispy, constantly vanishing but haunting rose floral note. Gorgeous, but there is certainly a touch of heat; oy, Garnacha. Round and moderately dense on the palate; celery and celery seed, cherry meat and pit. Quite good balance on the finish with a defining edge of bitterness; less heat than on the nose, but plenty of ripe, ripe liqueur character and overall a very richly textured wine. Delicious wine, but it demands duck or fatty lamb; it's not a daily house wine. (Listed as 14.5% abv, but I'd guess it's more like 15%.)
