Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 8, 2008 - No sign of age in the color of this wine...it is a beautiful crimson with no bricking at the rim to indicate that it is actually close to a decade old. Amid slight scents of smoke, heavy oak, and black fruit there was an almost burning sense as the alcohol became a dominant factor within this wine. In the mouth there was pleanty of black fruit, ripe plums, and chocolate covered cherries. I can see many people enjoying this wine...it is certainly a special wine in it's own right. It is unfortunate that this outstanding wine was situated in a flight that included blind tastings of 97 Spottswood, 97 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli, and a 96 d'Armailhac.
