Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 18, 2011 - 15.7% alcohol. decanted 2 hours, drunk over 2 hours. thick and lip puckering tannin. black licorice, too much oak. not a fan, in general, of the 04 napa cabs. i'm not prejudicially against high alcohol, but this is an example of too much hang time/over extraction. the quality of the fruit and the wine team gives all it can, but this is kind of a dud, all things considered. i see little hope of a magical transformation with more age.
