Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 31, 2018 - A second tasting of this wine, and in a position to provide better notes. First, the nose is a bit of raspberry, sundried tomatoes, and is very meaty and smoky... Bacon-like. I’m no expert on Baga, so perhaps the meatiness is typical of this grape, perhaps it’s the age, I’m not sure, but it’s very dominant, and may not be to everyone’s taste — but I sure love it. The palate is similar, and while the strength of those meaty tones diminishes as it opens up, it remains the primary profile with this wine. As I noted before, the tannins are still quite strong after 23 years, but then, I do know Baga is pretty tannic to start with. Regardless, I do enjoy this wine.
