Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Monday, December 26, 2022 - Deep, dark garnet in color with ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries, & cassis with classic cigar box overtones of tobacco & cedar, floral notes of violets, earthy/dusty, leather, coffee grounds, pepper, dark cocoa, herbs, spices, mint & a hint of minerals & graphite in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, complex, ripe fruit flavors of sweet dark cherries, cranberries & pomegranate with truffles, dark cocoa, coffee, herbs, minerals and hints of oak. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present & at 36 years of age, it is approaching its peak but should be able to continue its development with a few more additional years of aging. Fill was at lower neck level above shoulder; cork was clean & intact.
