Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - Extremely firm, and as others have mentioned, needs some time to straighten itself out. There seems to be plenty of fruit here, or at least the potential of it, but right now it's crushed beneath oak, a dry herbaceousness, and lots of tannin. There's good acidity, a little sweetness from alcohol, and an odd chocolate cake flavor on the finish. The nose, though, hints at a much purer future of cherry and cassis, which, in a year or two, should make this a really terrific specimen.
