Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 6, 2011 - Nice aromas of dark fruits, a bit of smoke. Taste was subdued, maybe this is going through a "dumb" phase, but the mouthfeel was quite thin. I'm going to cellar the remaining five bottles of this WTSO 'deal', but at this point, I'm a bit amazed that this wine made #58 of Spectator's Top 100. Edited to add: I saved about half a glass of this in the decanter, and tasted it a couple of days later. The wine had really opened up, with deep fruit flavors. I guess this one needs a fair amount more age, and then some long decanting time. I re-rate it at an 87 after retasting.
