Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 17, 2008 - I recieved several cases of the wine this week so I decided to try a few to assess quality myself. Opened the wine and let it sit for 4.5 hours. The bouquet was somewhat muted but I then aerated the glass I poured. That helped the bouquet come out behind the facade. It had lead pencil wet clay and mineral smell. The first sip was cherry and cassis and currant with hints of spice. The tannins in this bottle were strong but in another I opened up and let sit they were more reasonable. The mid palate revealed more spice vanilla and some licorice. The finish was long and i got more wet clay and minerality with cherry and berry accents. The aroma of the wine is pretty intense and the backbone of this wine is of great ilk. Perfect balance between the fruit and acidity. I think this one is going to get 3 - 4 extra points over its next decade. I would definitely recommend adding this wine to your portfolio. 95+ Points
