Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 24, 2015 - Christmas Eve - beef tenderloin, potatoes with leeks, roast carrots.
Cork broke - but none made it to the wine. Decanted 30 minutes before first glass.
Purple/crimson, almost opaque, good color to the rim.
Jane and Pete got a musty note on the nose, which blew away quickly. I didn't catch that. We all got wood, dark fruit, very perfumed.
Dry, full body, still tannin (although mellowing out), cherry and more, still a powerful presence in the glass, full dark.
Not fading, but not gaining ground either.
