Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 88.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by dching on 1/30/2011 & rated 88 points: Medium (+) intense herbaceous (thyme, garrigue, tobacco, brush, bay and lavender) and spicy notes (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon) with bright strawberry, raspberry and bramble fruits. Medium (+) length and medium acidity. Full bodied. Tannins are medium(+), fine grained although a little drying and become taxing after 1 or 2 glasses. Drinking well now and may develop more tertiary notes in 1-2 years, but the drying tannins are a concern and would drink as soon as. Good complexity and intensity. Nose is highly pleasurable.
