Community Tasting Note

Wwinowillie Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 21, 2021 - Heavily garnet edges and light purple middle
Nose: licorice, cocoa, fig, tobacco, old leather, cinnamon, touch of mint, broken vine, and cedar.

The velvety mouthfeel hits you first, it is extremely silky, tobacco and leather stand out and while it is still a dry finish you don’t feel the tannins so much. Fruit is pretty much gone at this point, if anything maybe stewed blackberries and strawberries. Chocolate stands out in a kind of chewy dry finish, sip begins with more of a milk chocolate feel that gradually gets darker. The body is like chocolate milk with a smoky toasted marshmallow influence that is pretty unique. It’s getting a lot better with more time open and the cigar smoke sensation is heavy with a chewy cedar finish. Strawberry jam, each sip continues to improve and it’s dusty and grainy texture with some savory help from the sediment.

This is a really good old wine, it’s not quite what I expected but still really enjoyable and a testament to time, it is a wine that’s almost as old as I am which is pretty damn cool
