Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 7, 2016 - So I bought a couple of bottles of this, based in no small part on friends recommendations and the fact that my daughters name is Scarlett. I hope this bottle is an aberration as the wine I had in no way resembles the wine that has been written about in the notes below.
Nose of mocha/oak vanilla, red fruits and maybe a liqueur thing going on. HUGE wine on the palate. WAY to big and over extracted. Honestly i couldn't really concentrate on anything else as I was just floored at how overdone this was. I honestly got tired of drinking it after a glass. day 2 showed a little better but not amazing (and maybe that's the problem as I was expecting this to be brilliant.)
Mike Smith is obviously one of the most talented winemakers around and I really enjoy his wines. I'm going to chalk this up to some randomness and can't wait to try again.

BVGDL 2007 tasted harsh and unruly and thought it might have been a bad purchase after trying one bottle every year for three years. Finally has started to come around. Whew have eight bottles left. Only bought two of these. Dave
