Tasting Note:August 12, 2017

Last of the blind wines this weekend.

Deep ruby red. Very tight on the attack of the nose even after two hours. Another hour or so later some dark black fruits and sweet spices came through. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied, more on the full side. Rich and dark attack on the palate that then plateaus. Black fruits, sweet spices and tobacco. Long finish.
