Community Tasting Note

Goldstone Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 3, 2021 - 3 hour decant. Transparent red pomegranate seed colour. Nose is deep notes of damp forest loam, confit strawberry, dried cranberry, sweet raspberries, sandalwood, fresh Turkish delight, Chinese Gai Tze small red dates, sweet Chinese Loh Bak Goh.... deep and complex but still very fresh. The earthiness comes out a lot more with overnight in the fridge together with cigar box and mitre blackberry fruit. which adds an extra dimension. Palate is more dilute than the nose would suggest, tart cranberries, pomegranate seeds, interesting Mediterranean spices on the very dry back end with quite tart tannin that is yet to integrate... drinks like a young Rioja. Nice moderate intensity buzz of resonance inside the head on the finish. Definitely approachable but is still yet to fully develop and unfurl. Kept all but a glass re-bottled overnight, which benefited the nose - which is now really gorgeous - but didn’t alter the palate, which was a bit disappointing....until it got to room temperature and then it really all came together and was fabulous. Wow, this takes a lot of patience to coax the best out of it.
