Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 6, 2012 - A Friday Afternoon at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): nose: very horsey right off the bat, but does unwind into tones of cedar, tobacco, spice box, dark red cherries, and cassis tones. Excellent depth, though it is wound up a bit tight.

taste: full bodied with rough and coarse tannins along with medium acidity. Certainly shows off it's youth, but has some great tones of cassis, tobacco, cedar, and dark red cherries. Very good depth underneath the tannins right now.

overall: Still quite young. It's class is starting to show, but this could easily use another 5 years. This does have the power that one expects from montrose, but it isn't that large scaled of a wine.
