Community Tasting Note

• ageverett Likes this wine: 93 points

  October 17, 2015 - Slow ox for 3.5 hours. Gave a try - still a bit tight. Into the decanter for an hour.
  
  Nose is pretty deep and brooding. Black fruit and black earth. Palate hits with more of the same, and some overipe plum. Developed some secondary notes (leather; black tea) as it was open longer. Finish still has quite a grip.
  
  Have had some really good experiences with 2006 Napa wines recently, so thought this would be a good one to pair with a Wagyu strip and watching the Cubs in NLCS Game 1. Overall would say that this still has plenty of life ahead of it, and if I had another bottle would wait 3-5 years. Alas, I got this on a closeout a few years ago and figure now was the time. C'est la vie.
