Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 25, 2012 - From magnum. Slow o'd for 1 hour prior to consumption.

Nose: Rasberry ganache and a little smoke from the oak treatment.

Taste: Beautiful rasberry and blackberry fruit with a dallop of chocholate mousse and whipped cream folded in to give an incredible silky texture which would have been a indication of a fine stags leap cabernet in a blind tasting. There was also some brett which distracted from the initial experience but blew off and mellowed in the glass with additional air.

Overall: Incredible balance and finesse, wonderful fruit and the incredible texture. This is a regal wine which has stayed true to its sensibilities rather than the critics and I am most pleased with the results. I do not think that this will be getting any better with additional aging but may hold for a few more years.
