Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 13, 2011 - Decanted and consumed over 3.5 hours. Still retains its deep purple coloring but is much tamer than in its earlier years. Still very floral with lots of lavender, pepper and oak on the nose. Has a silky-dusty mouthfeel with gobs of sweet, lush, dark fruit. Agree with some of the earlier notes that its finish is a little flat, with alcohol and wood notes that probably linger longer than the fruit itself, but I still find that I enjoy this quite a bit. I'd place this wine (at this time) similar in profile to an aged Shafer Relentless....lots of fruit flavor despite coming across as a mature wine, but not nearly as "in your face" as (too) many Aussie shiraz'.
