Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 24, 2012 - The Eleventh Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON, Canada): From magnum, decanted for sediment and served 20-30 minutes later. Medium garnet colour. The nose shows cedar, earth, cassis, blackcurrants and leather and is very together with everything resolved and finely knit together. The palate shows similar flavours of cedar, earth, minerals, cassis, blackcurrants, earth and wet leaf. This is very compact and suave on the palate. The finish shows great length and nice complexity but my hunch is that this wine is a few years past its peak. It still drinks wonderfully but I think that even 2-3 years earlier you might have had a better balance between the fruit and tertiary notes. Having said all that....still a very delicious wine, utterly enjoyable.
