Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 15, 2012 - Cork was very tight. Color was slightly brown to orange around the edges, but no tawny smells or tastes. Substantial sediment. Decanted for 5 hours before initial tasting. Soft tannins, but still somewhat closed even after 5 hours, but opened up more after another 2. Nice fruit flavors on the front end, red raspberries and field flowers. Hints of dry leather. Light ruby red in color. Disappointingly short finish. Not really the depth and intensity I'd expect from Dominus. Nearing end of life, so drink up. Re-tasted after 24 hours, no significant improvement. Disappointing.
