Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 16, 2015 - At Il Mondo Vecchio in Madison with Bob M, celebrating his retirement. Bob brought this one, drank after/next to an 85 Ch Margaux. Paired with a lamb osso buocco - perfect combination for these wines. Splash decanted for 30 minutes.

Color was a dark maroon, no signs of age. Nose was black fruits, along with a cedar/floral signature. Palate is lush and rich, dark fruits, blackberry, cassis, savory/meats. Sweet tannins, rich mouthfeel. Finish of 20+ seconds.

Still very young, drinks well now but will likely improve. Will e interesting to see this wine evolve, given the core/mid palate it will keep getting better. Longer decant would have helped.
