Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 13, 2015 - My first taste of his wine. I wonder a little bit about the storage. Purchased from big box retailer not stored in the climate controlled area. Been sitting there a few years I'd guess.

Not cooked but flavors seem muddled upon opening. Aftertaste is a little distracting. Might be overwhelming bittersweet chocolate but I don't think so. Definitely ripe and full. Fruit is red and black. Definite mocha. Can't get over the bittersweet chocolate notes.

I'll update as wine airs. Ok. It's been 3-4 hrs. Wine has developed a very nice creamy vanilla oak mouthfeel. Bittersweet chocolate remains but less oppressive. More milk chocolate now. Finish is cleaner and lingering. Quite nice.

Enjoyed. Look forward to the 10 oz I poured off for tomorrow.
