Community Tasting Note

CheviotCellar Likes this wine:

Tuesday, February 19, 2019 - Not where I hoped it'd be. A year ago the 2007 was really singing with lovely aromas. This vintage, with a 4 hour decant, is good, just not great; Nose has oak, tootsie roll, leather, wet dank leaves, cedar, slight burnt matchstick.

Big, concentrated palate with more oak, brown sugar, and acidity. Bodes well for aging but this is many years away from being integrated and its full potential.

Only fruit at this point is rather muted cherry notes, and cranberry on finish. Rustic but showing potential. Nothing off-putting, just not showing like its older siblings.
