Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Friday, March 29, 2024 - Medium ruby appearance. Medium + nose of cassis, blackcurrant, dark plum. Already some tertiary notes of leather, mushroom, tobacco. Medium + acid, medium + tannin. Full bodied with medium + flavor intensity. Flavor profile on the palate is a little brighter than on the nose with the plummy merlot character more pronounced. Medium + finish. Generally speaking, this fundamentally still retains the vibrant, voluptuous character of the wine I remember tasting just after bottling just further down the line in development. I think you can hold for another 10 years but it’ll be for a different experience, depending on preference, rather than one that is necessarily better.
