Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 1, 2010 - Ruby red color. Blueberry compote, strawberry, spice and peppermint scent. Black coffee and earth taste with little, if any, fruit followed by sharp tannins. Initially 84 points, but after breathing the tannins smoothed out and nose and palate were much more integrated.

  October 28, 2008 - I think this was the reflets du terroir. In any event, consistent with past performance, it opened up tight. Shows better on day two: a nice, slim profile that packs nice intensity.

  September 15, 2008 - Fall Bachanalia (Green Dolphin St, Chicago IL): nose: bold nose filled with black currants, loads of black fruits, roast coffee tones, and mineral laced earth
  
  taste: full and tannic as one would expect from tannat with tones of black currants, black fruits, and roasted coffee tones
  
  overall: a big bruiser with big tannins and bold flavors. A very interesting wine that should come into full bloom in a couple of years. Bold black fruited attack with a interesting roasted coffee finish

  August 20, 2008 - On day two, from the same bottle poured off into a 375. The stuff is just singing. A terrific everyday wine.
