Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 4, 2012 - This has been hanging in the cellar for about 6 years... Clearly a well made wine in near perfect condition. Dark purple color with no browning around the edges. Vibrant nose is chalked full of berry fruits (raspberry especially) and a healthy does of smokey oak and vanilla. Early after opening it had almost a burgundian character on the nose as well with floral, mineral and pine forest floor notes. The palate was just a touch thin after first opening, but that might have been because the wine needed to warm up from cellar temperature. Once it opened, the palate was elegant and plush with tons of bright red and black fruits. Tannins are mellowing out, but will hang for a while, so this should last 3-4 more years at least. Coats the mouth fully with a finish that lingers 45+ seconds. Bravo!
