Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 8, 2013 - C: Bright, juicy, velvety purple. Bright pink on the edges.
N: Dried flowers, potpourri, violets, baked earth, herbs, blackberries, some licorice, and maybe a touch of blueberry pie (vanilla). A touch hot, but a very interesting nose.
P: Blackberries, leather, black pepper. Good, full, smooth mouthfeel, without losing acidity. Nice acidic backbone. Certainly not overripe fruit here. Grainy, full tannins, but not harsh or dry. Verging on silky (but not quite there). The finish is unfortunately a bit short, and actually quite green/woody.
O: Fantastic QPR, great nose, less complex palate (but still lovely) and a really nice mouthfeel. The green finish, however, detracts a few points. Drink 2013-2020
