Community Tasting Note

It didn't have the bitter finish even at the start, but it took a little while to open up. This is light to medium weight, very typical with a brick red color even at this age. Sour cherries, but smoothing out. A family pleaser--I threw together a puttanesca sauce and went heavy on the oil cured olives and anchovies, not to mention capers, and this was just fine. Probably not a long term ager, but it's not falling apart and it's gaining a little balance.
