Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 2, 2008 - Takes time; poured through a Vinturi aerator to simulate 1 hr decanting into a decanter, then poured from the dacanter back through the vinturi into glasses. Consumed over 4 hrs, with the first glasses done in this manner, the last half out of the decanter. Early glasses were very fruit-oriented with a slight alcohol tinge; without the vinturi it was overly tannic and one-dimensional. The final 1/3 of the decanter was just outstanding, with lots of cinnamon, chocolate and dark fruits over a lush tannic base. This is an exquisite and full-bodied merlot deserving of age, and brought to life.
