Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 7, 2010 - Oscar night (Shane's: Chicago, IL): nose: pungent and perfumed nose of dark red cherries, mushrooms, warm earth tones, dark florals, and bits of berry tones. Takes a slight bit to unwind in the glass, but then takes on a real lovely and intoxicating sense to it that really wraps you in

taste: a very alluring medium feel with deep tones of dark spices, dark red cherries, berries, earth, and a good bit of mushrooms. There is also a slightly funky flavor on this that is cote-rotieish along with medium+ acidity that still makes itself be known

overall: this is in a great place right now, but there is absolutely zero rush. This took a bit to unwind and was told that this was slow ox'd for several hours before I got there. A real beauty of a wine that captured my imagination
