Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 24, 2009 - syrah smackdown (Barrington IL, Wally's house): nose: very pungent and powerful nose jam packed with red fruits, rich tones of red cherries, cassis, black fruits and loads of black cherries. Great depth, and excellent balance with the big fruit tones melding together very well

taste: Excellent medium/full feel with really good balanced flavors of red fruits, red cherries, cassis, black cherries and some bits of camphor and black licorice. While the flavors are really good, they seem to be lacking a bit of teh depth and expression that they possesed on the nose

overall: I made sure to decant this for 5 hours or so and then bottle aired it for two hours after putting it back in the bottle. Maybe it needed more air or some more time sideways. Wally had some of this over the next two nights and he told me that it showed a lot better, c'est la vie
