Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 13, 2010 - Had this with dinner at The Charcoal Grill on the Hill; a medium rare porterhouse with fries. It was recommended by the Sommelier and he knows what he's talking about. The nose was very concentrated with earthy red cherries and a touch of raspberries with forest floor characteristics and faint vanillin. The palette was chock full of super fine tannins with black cherry and a massive long finish. A beautiful cross between an earthy nebiolo and a fruity cherry Burgundy. Really impressive and matched perfectly with the food. Was only $95 on a restaurant wine list. One of my dinner partners (Nick Stock) said that his first impressions of the wine was that it was "a bit sharp".
