Tuesday, July 3, 2007 - Tasted on 7/3/07

The wine was poured into a decanter and drunk over a couple hours.

The color was a very dark purple red. It had an aroma of dirty socks, with a little extra funk I couldn't describe. That particular "funk" aroma faded after pouring into a wine glass. After breathing for several minutes, The bouquet showed Dark cherrys, mocha, and some floral characteristics on the nose.

The very first glass showed lots of up front fruits on the palate. Cherry, dark berries, current, black pepper. Being such a young wine, it was tight, and a bit acidic. Medium body, medium finish. The tannin structure will make this wine last for years to come. After the bottle was allowed to decant for an hour or so, the tannins soften up a lot. It showed improved balance with a longer finish.

Quite a delicious wine and still very young. I'll rate this wine 91-92 points.
