Community Tasting Notes 3

    March 13, 2010 - O - mörk röd m tegelkant
    D - jordig, mandelmassa, gummi, kokta grönsaker, kaffe, mörka bär och apelsinskal
    S - plommon, avrundade tanniner och välbevarad syra, äppelkärnor, sötlakrits, choklad och kokt oxkött
    Kvällens bästa om än i något grovhuggen stil. Väl mogen då vinet dör efter en timma i glaset.

    November 21, 2003 - A rather straightforward nose.
    Soft tannins, quaffable.

    November 21, 2003 - From Double Magnum. Colour of cut garnet with reasonable depth of colour, but with a slightly orange rim. Reasonable intensity of nose with brambly nature, seems rather one dimensional, although it does carry some notes of menthol and tobacco together with a slightly gamey character. Medium bodied and very dry, seems somewhat austere (would doubtless benefit from food). Oddly given this the fruit if anything seems overipe and somewhat sappy. High acid and tannin, overall a rather adequate wine that needs food. C (CECWINE)
