Community Tasting Note

  April 5, 2008 - Trevallon 1985-2004: This starts out with a bit of bretty band-aid right out of the gate, the nose also offers up chalky minerality and muddy earth notes that add depth and complexity to a base of boysenberry jamminess. With time one finds a touch of mint, some tire rubber, a hint of leather and top notes of black olive and dried pine cone. In the mouth this is medium full bodied and fairly resolved with a solid core of acidity. The palate is richly savory though a touch drying with an intense mineral earth finish that is broad yet cut short by the brett and somewhat rustic tannins. Fore square and structured. This should be drunk in the near term, 2008-2013
