Community Tasting Note

lelandinmichigan Likes this wine:

Wednesday, January 19, 2022 - Cherry red and burgundy colors, not purple. Bordeaux blend, Merlot/Cab Franc dominant. Powerful earthy aromas and ripe fruit. Not overdone, but very ripe. Has a funky element that adds character and doesn't detract at all. Great flavor without being heavy, the acids are mild, the tannins are resolved but have something of a presence to allow the wine some life and 'grip', however, it doesn't seem like it'll improve and is in a fairly yummy and decadent place at the moment. I got this one at Costco on a '97' closeout, but it was probably still high 20s. I bet it retails in the 50s, tastes very fancy and polished. Has what I call the 'neapolitan ice-cream sandwich' flavor, but has a level of sophistication that steps it up a notch.
