Community Tasting Note

lifebreath Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - Decanted about 30 minutes then back into the bottle with gas. Initially pretty closed with straightforward dark fruit and minerals. Smooth but pronounced tannins with long finish. Good balance and structure. Second and third day with some time in the glass opened the wine up considerably, yielding dried fruits with some tart cherries. Still rather straightforward with essentially no earthiness or savory flavors. The 2003 vintage is much more interesting and has better structure. I think another 5 or more years in the bottle will bring forth rewards. Also, a longer decant of 3 or 4 hours or more would be beneficial.
