Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 13, 2020 - I'm pretty much in agreement with most tasters here that it's very tightly coiled and definitely too young, although not so much that it's unenjoyable or anything less than really pretty.

Fairly primary but deeply layered scents of VERY minty, minerally red cherries, some light sweet tones that almost come close to bubblegum, but not so much that it's mistakable for a Cru Beaujolais.

Palate is obviously very tannic and acidic, super ageable, but enough fruit that it's already well-rounded and enjoyable today, even without food. Refreshing, but deep; highly textured, but elegant. Will be much more interesting in several years.
