Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, May 3, 2015 - -- double decanted approximately 15 hours before first taste --
-- tasted a couple pours non-blind over a couple of hours --

NOSE: cherry; plum; blackberry; hint of earthy leather; mineral; expressive.

BODY: dark black-garnet color of great depth; medium bodied.

TASTE: a touch bitter; purple/red fruits; some earth & leather; cherry pit; very nice; packed; long finish; nice embedded acidity; medium-fine tannins at this point in time; seems like it will age beautifully; would recommend a *long* decant if drinking now, but Holding is the best option. *Fantastic* wine, and my WOTN. Gut impression score: mid to high 90's.
