Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 9, 2007 - Day 1: Opened and served right away. Deep dark ruby red/purple in colour. Sweet nose at first, with aromas of sweet sweaty socks, cigar, cotton candy and underlying sour cherries. Huge mouth feel. A mountain of tannins that grip your entire palate. This is a monster wine. It was difficult to extract flavours from this wine as the tannins were almost mouth numbing. 2 minutes and 2 sips of water later I could still taste and feel the tannins. Sour cherry flavours was all I could distinguish. After being open for an hour, the sweetness simmered down and the nose became more earthy and dirty. The flavour profile expanded a tad on this second glass and gave me flavours of sour cherries and pine cones. A long 1 minute finish with cigar and mocha flavours. I can’t wait for those tannins to settle down because this muscular wine will be exceptional.
