Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 27, 2016 - The texture of this wine is lovely; dry, velvety cashmere. There is some sweetness, slightly grainy, along with a slight savory tone. Plenty of red fruit, medium-bodied. This is very refined and elegant, though clearly needs a lot more time to fully unfurl. This is approachable now but should sing so much more beautifuly after another eight years or so.

Better on the 2nd day; tastes closer to the '09 now, with vivid rasberry and strawberry notes, though still slightly more austere, more savory and more backward than the '09 - not worse, but just a slightly different, tighter, dryer profile that needs more time.
