Monday, April 26, 2010 - connoisseur wines spring european portfolio (Vivere, Chicago IL): nose: young, but open nose with balanced and pungent tones of cassis, black currants, cedar, black cherries, dark red fruits and some spice box tones
taste: full bodied with chewy and very noticeable tannins right now. Balanced with good depth and very good tones of cassis, black currants, cedar, black cherries and some bits of spice box
overall: This is starting to drink, but is certainly on the young side. It seems like it could still use some more years as it's still a bit backwards on the palate at this time
