Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 8, 2011 - A bit of a disconnect between flavor and smell on this one as the flavor is composed of peppery spices while the nose is beautifully bright and fruity. The earthy, or pencil lead, aromas that you'd expect from the flavor profile do exist, but they are very subtle and took some time for me to detect. I liked this flavor/aroma complexity, but I think the finish suffers - it's short, vegetal and bitter.

update - I'm finishing off the bottle two days after opening and the wine is really fantastic now. A hint of heat, but the flavor is smooth and well integrated. More red fruits today as well. Probably a 92 at this point.
