Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 15, 2013 - I brought this to a tasting Bam_Man hosted, so I am looking forward to his note.

Saturated purple. Upon opening, this smelled and tasted like it would be another oaky fruit bomb. Loads of blueberry like scents on the nose and lots of oak imparted vanilla. Good concentration on the palate but not a lot of character. Fairly simple and one-dimensional.

After a couple of hours it began to show smells and tastes similar to what one might expect from a Tuscan Syrah or Syrah blend. It became juicier, with more focus, balance, structure, and better minerality. With another three years of cellaring this could be quite nice.
