Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 19, 2020 - Covid Cassoulet (Robin Stark's, Cardiff-by-the-Sea): Very young and primary on the nose. Saucy with violets and notes of wood. Narrow on the palate and not quite as expressive as the nose. Lean feeling even though the fruit is still got plenty of fatness. Or maybe relatively lean feeling. Not as much tannin as I would have expected. This was the most painfully young wine on the night. It's not quite closed but it hasn't really started opening anything secondary.
Partial bottle drinking a couple days later doesn't reveal a lot of change. Still young Cab fruits. The wood is there on the palate still waiting to integrate. It's not overt but hanging around. The most notable thing for me is that I've not been smacked by the structure of this one. It might not be for real long term drinking even if it's still begging for more rest ten years on.
