Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 7, 2013 - Couldn't resist popping one of these. Ran through the vinturi and immediately got a whiff of what was waiting for me on the nose: smoke, dried beef, charcoal, tar, blackberries, and mineral...in order of prevalence. A little more restrained on the palate and more of the dark, juicy fruit shines through in a medium-bodied package. Obvious structure for ageing and and a fantastic finish that is my favorite part of the drinking experience. The savageness of this wine is almost overwhelming, but everything comes together in balance in the end. This could reach 94-95 territory.
