Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 30, 2011 - Holiday CdP tasting (Edina Country Club, MN): -- decanted for 4 hours before tasting --
-- tasted a couple glasses non-blind over approximately one hour --

NOSE: high-toned and moderately expressive; this had a lemony-orange lilt to it when first poured into my glass, but, after a few minutes, this citrus aspect transformed into a pomegranate and loganberry aroma; I also noticed a background hint of the celery seed/leaf note that was at the forefront of the ’00 Pegau; the Nose became increasingly “dark” as the wine sat in the glass. I greatly enjoyed the Nose on this wine, despite my belief that it’s holding back some right now.

BODY: purple-garnet color of great depth; medium-full bodied.

TASTE: very bitter; tannic; 14% alc. pokes through a bit; non-descript purple fruits; nice acidity; all structure right now; closed; will be very good a few years down the line. Hold.

B: 50, 5, 12, 15, 8 = 90+
