Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 14, 2009 - (Decanted four hours) Very impressive wine. Do not open unless you have many hours to decant, as its (ripe) tannins are a bit overbearing on open. But once you let it breathe for a long while, you get a fantastic nose heavy on the blackberry and other sweet essences. On the palate much the same story, with very satisfying ripe tannins on the finish. I paired it with lamb shank and it was wonderful. Will only get better with bottle age, but I'm not opening any of my remaining three for a few years.
