Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 24, 2013 - Enjoyed at the JD Sunday get together. I wanted so badly to like this wine, but even after 8 hours of decanting it just didn't do it. Uncorked to a rather intact cork. Decanted for about an hour and enjoyed first. Poured a medium bodied ruby red into the glass. The nose was floral and unripe red berry. The palate was like a chocolate covered strawberry up front ad then settled to a little bit of a red cherry and BARELY ripened red raspberry. Acidity was noticeable, but wasn't "in your face." I really do think that 1-2 years of holding this wine might increase its maturity a bit, but I think that would probably be treading you in some rather shallow water because I just don't think it has the backbone to last more than 1-2 years either. Drink now, but might not be a bad idea to at least decant 20-30 minutes before enjoying.
