Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 20, 2021 - Based on prior comments, I pulled this from a pristine 55 degree Eurocave cellar, stood up for 45 minutes, and then strained into a decanter; a sizable “glop” of sediment remained in the stainer. Fully mature, medium garnet color with a ruby core. Persistent tertiary and savory aromas and flavors show old shoe leather, dried tomato leaf, expired strawberry perseveres, cooked raspberry, stewed cherry and decaying forest floor. Structure is still in tact, tannin may be waning, but acids still holding this together. Solid, very long, cherry cough syrup infused finish. Drink over the next 1-2 years; unlikely to improve with further cellaring. Enjoyed with a pepperoni pizza. Excellent at almost 20 years!
