Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 1, 2015 - Had a 1999 a couple of years ago and it was showing VERY WELL at the time. The adage is that these pinots are super locked up and this one was no exception. As a 2010 pinot this one tasted, upon cork pop, like a barrel sample. Settled down and acid tamed after 45 min into a very nice pinot. Palate showed fig and black cherry pie with huge acidity on the front. Acidity balanced well with a trio of hummus. The middle of this wine descends into a dark abyss with a hint of tobacco that hits first, second with a minerality of limestone and dark spice and brambly berry. Finishes rather light and a touch acidic. Black cherry with a hint of pepper. Mildly acidic on the finish after it had opened. Balanced well but I think in all honesty that the peak of this wine is about 2 years away. I hate to think this one could get more complex but I believe it likely will!
