Community Tasting Notes 15

    June 21, 2020 - I was pleasantly surprised with this wine since I was 3 years past the drinking window. Bright Cherry color. I noticed the effervescence when I decanted it and on drinking it showed that on the tongue. Medium bodied on the tongue. Less than 1 tsp of sediment with this 2009 vintage. Wish I had another bottle. Purchased from WTSO in January 2013. Held up well in the cellar.

    August 24, 2013 - Decanted for 3 hours it made a big difference. Great wine tonight

    July 6, 2013 - This was much better than my previous bottle. I allowed it to open up over a few hours. The oak and red fruit was more integrated. The finish was medium and clean but with richer levels of raspberries and cherries.

    June 21, 2013 - Solid red blend. Nothing outstanding about it... but no rough edges either. Purple fruit and some coffee on the nose. Blueberry, blackberrt and a little spice on the palate. Smoth finish... not much of a tannin backbone. I'd be drinking these now.
