Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - Showing beautifully right now, with an inky purplish color with some hints of ruby -- semi mature color but perfumed right out of the bottle. The red fruit seemed to have a dried quality, it had some sweet spice, smoke (later developed into almost a scorched Earth note), leather, minerals, earthy with some menthol/cough medicine notes which kept evolving and changing over the course of the evening. Later, it fattened up with tons of cherry fruit and cassis, loamy and rich. The finish was smooth all night, with a nice silky tannic structure that provided a very balanced framework without being intrusive. Never really tasted like a Shiraz, but a very impressive wine.
