Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 - This is very good. The color is a traditional dark garnet. The subdued bouquet is high-toned (white flowers and alcohol) followed by some sweet scents. The action is in the mouth, where fleshy fruit and tarry tannin dance in unison. There is very good ripeness to the dark cherry and cranberry fruit, yet the texture is elegant and crystalline, and the acids are a perfect foil to the sweetness. The tannins are evident but so soft and tar-like (in taste and texture). Good depth and length here. Enjoyable now (with decanting), I'd say this has excellent upside in the cellar. Age it so it can develop more aromatic nuance and let the tannins melt some. 91 points with potential.
