Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, November 25, 2012 - This wine has a lot of color for its age, viewing it i my thoughts were; looks more like a 20year old. The nose is complex a lot of blackberry, leather and pepper. Also some notes of balsam and a nutty scent. The taste is full, round not much sweetness but enough to balance the palate in the right way. There is a lot of fruit still here mainly dark and red- of the preserved kind. Also there is more than enough tannins present this wine could hold its own for quite a lot of years to come if it weren't for the acids that seem to be more of an aged kind (aside from the normal ones every wine has, but this may be only limited to this bottle) the finish is good, even big, nice composition of the things, present at the start of the tasting. It lasts more then a minute( make that about 2 minutes) this isa real masculin wine indeed.
