Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - Lively aromatics upon opening...orange rind, tangerine, strawberry, lemon/lime. Full of flesh in the mouth with good weight, and flavors of underripe strawberry, lemon/lime. Medium acids, and soft tannins lead to a nice finish with good intensity and length. On par with what I'd expect from this producer.

Maybe there's some bottle variation or its just a touch fatter due to the warm/hot vintage. Haven't tried any prior vintages so don't have that frame of reference. Could easily see the '10 and '11 being significantly leaner.
