Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, September 3, 2011 - TN: Labor Day weekend at my place. (My place.): A deep amber/orange color. Fully mature and offering up pleasant grilled apricot, nut, candied orange peel and raisin flavors and aromas. Still nicely sweet,with balancing acidity and fully integrated oak, though the wine is showing clear signs of that it's on the back end of the bell curve. It'll certainly last for years to come, but it's not getting any better and will continue to shed fruit and sweetness. Drink up, unless you're a necrophiliac. Low A-.
