Community Tasting Note

  October 28, 2014 - My 3d note on this wine. Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Very deep garnet color. Nice but shy nose of white pepper, plums, black cherries. Dark and rich on the palate, as black-fruit flavors lead along with cherries and a hint of chocolate. Acid balance is still quite firm, solid even. The finish started out fairly tannic on first opening, but smoothed out after an hour. Still showing good grip. This is a well-balanced wine that has evolved quite favorably in recent years. Its firmness at the present moment leads me to think that there is still a fair amount of potential there for future improvement.
