Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 24, 2007 - Tasted immediately after opening, decanted, then tasted regularly over 3 hours. At first a lovely, smoky, old-oak-barrels nose but quite thin in the mouth. After 1.5 hours the nose resolved to a griottes (sour cherry), kirsch-liqueur, high-toned, very pretty bouquet -- my wife and I disagree about whether it was red fruit or black fruit, but to me it was clearly red-cherry-compote/liqueur. The body filled out admirably as well. After 2-ish hours, the wine began to began to thin out, finishing with quite distinct acidity. My sense is that this is a wine just past its peak; still drinking beautifully, but with no further development worth waiting for, and I expect the fruit to dissipate over the next 5-10 years.
