Community Tasting Note

cephomer Likes this wine:

Tuesday, February 9, 2016 - Drank from magnum last nite at Mistrals in Vt. Didn't decant, but should have. A bit of funk on the nose at first, which blew off shortly after opening revealing aromas of blackberries, earth and some barnyard. Still some fruit here--all black--but it's doesn't seem overly ripe. The wine is now predominantly tertiary with lots of earth, cedar, leather and some forest floor. Tannins remain but are soft and chalky, not at all grippy. Decent length with good level of complexity. This wine continues to lack in concentration and depth in the mid-palate (as I've mentioned before in previous tastings). It's a very pleasant wine, but nothing extravagant or particularly memorable.
