Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 11, 2010 - Not decanted but kept upright for a day to avoid sediment in the glass. Rose colour, light crimson with a very intense nose of tobacco, oak and some clove intertwined, and after some 30 minutes of air, I smelled scents of wild cherries. The nose was very enticing leading to a sour/wild cherry and tobacco flavoured palate. The tannins are completely resolved but the acidity was still there and it kept the wine alive. The finish was very very long and I kept tasting it more than 1 minute after it was consumed. Past it's peak by about 7-9 years(I think) but it was not dead by any means and alive and quite pleasurable. 91+ I have one more for near term consumption.
