Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 16, 2016 - Surprisingly simple and short overall. Very clean, of course.

Beautiful, leggy chestnut appearance. This is why tawnies got their name: there is nothing purple about it.

The nose has hot, core port elements, and the cedar-y wood aroma borders on sawdust. There's a little spiciness to it — gunpowder, maybe.

On the palate, the wine is round, sweet, but not redolent of grapes.

And it ends sweetly, with no brandy sharpness that the nose might have implied. This is where you get the fruit — and it's more grape than anything else. The sweetness lingers, but the wood and the spiciness do not.
