Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 2, 2009 - This wine was opened and poured. Unfortunately it did not show as well as expected. The wine begins stern and austere. Overtime its aromatic profile becomes more forthcoming and the palate becomes less stern; however, the wine never reveals its full potential during the course of its consumption. The bouquet begins with hints of black cherry, spice and earth notes that are not forthcoming, airing brings out more of the aromatic profile. The color is a dark ruby that is correct for the wines age. The medium bodied palate continues the stern, unyielding profile that loosens over time. Based on previous experiences with '05 Chevillon and this wine in particular, the wine has the components to show in a more compelling style. At this point, this wine needs additional bottle age to show its best.
