April 9, 2006 - Open on a beautiful evening in Boulder. 75 degrees and sunny. You have to wonder how much our moods affect our tasting notes. This wine is dark ruby, but not black. It has a nose that is a nice blend of black cherry, chocolate, creme, and leather. However, there is a imbalance to this wine that you don't normally experience in the supertuscan variety. The beautiful nose on this wine sets you up for a disappointing finish. The alcohol over powers the fruit and the there is still a hotness in the mouth that would suggest more time in the bottle for the tannins to settle. It may balance over time, but still, it won't be a wine of superior quality. It's not of the fruit bomb style that you might expect from this warm climate. But hell, it doesn't suck, I've opened it, and I'm going to drink it.
