Community Tasting Note

• wmccone54 Likes this wine:

  October 15, 2022 - This is in the latter stages of the “drinking window”. Mature: displaying a dull ruby color, with slight bricking at the edges; perfumed, floral aromatics; loamy blackberry, stewed black currant, cooked black cherry, black plum, dried tobacco, powdered chocolate, with dried briary undergrowth on the long finish. Structure is present, with tannin and acids holding this all together. Had no problem holding up to the grilled ribeye with grilled Brussels sprouts. Lots of sediment in both the decanter and bottle neck. Drink now, unlikely to improve, but this still has life; can be enjoyed through late 2023. Last of six bottles procured back around 2009; great purchase and a wine I’ll always look for.
