Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - Tasted from a "forgotten" 0.375 bottle. Still pretty dark purple color, getting a little lighter towards the rim. To my big surprise, this wine (from small bottle!!!) does neither smell nor taste dead. Nice nose of black fruits (black currant/cassis, blackberries) and some vanilla and flowers/herbs. Medium bodied with medium fresh acidity and still medium tannin (a touch green). Medium long finish. This is a pleasure-filled glass of wine, not very complex, but nicely balanced and surprisingly still relatively youthful. I honestly didn't expect this $12 bottle (for full bottle) to age this nicely for over 10 years... Great value!
