Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 16, 2015 - Very deep garnet color with reddish brick tones. Nice nose of cherries, plums, and pine notes. Medium-full body on the palate, with dark flavors of iron filings, black cherry. Acidity is pretty smoothed out by time, though it's firm enough for enjoyment. Finish retains a bit of grip with near-zero tannins. What happens when you drink a good-but-not-great wine almost 7 years after harvest? Textbook case here. When this wine was first reviewed by V.Boone in July 2011 in the Wine Enth., she gave it 91 pts. and said to age it another 3-5 years. Well here we are and the wine has smoothed out, yes, but not much else has happened. The wine is def. drinkable but the overall picture is only OK.
