Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 31, 2009 - Deep opaque ruby, with a nose of meat, black olives, and dark black fruits, anise, white pepper and violets. Rich and dense yet very well balanced on the palate, with blood and stones, meat, and savory notes in great balance with the fruit. A ton of tannins that are softening and not intrusive at this point. A touch of bitter chocolate on the back end f a very long finish. Poured blind fo rme, and I was very impressed that this was a 96, both in its approachability and its quality. Great stuff and very early peak. 94 pts
