Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 1, 2014 - Decanted about 45 minutes. Opens with sweet, almost jammy red fruit and the trademark stemmy cinnamon and twig and olive. Much darker and tarry in the mouth, a big wine, with dense tarry black fruit and lots of structure, but it lacks the elegance of the 2008 that I loved so much. Better with food than without. Shows the vintage character clearly. With more air it starts to blackier and tarrier and almost sour and bitter and I like it less. I was a bit disappointed by this wine and I'd rather backfill 2008 or wait for 2010.
