Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 1, 2015 - Color is dark, very dark for a 20 year old with almost no rim. There are some dried fruits, tea leaf, tobacco, leather, tree moss, dead roses and violets on the nose. Tannins are a third of its age, very alive. It is full bodied, dusty, and rustic. I would definitely not call it elegant but it is complex. Acid is medium-high. Mid length finish.
This wine is right in the center for me. It’s a blend between classic and modern. You can feel some barrique in it but at the same time, there is sense of place.

On day two, the nose is exploding with truffle and the tannins have subsided. Raising one point. 90PTS.
