Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 22, 2010 - {ST} Not decanted, and it definitely should have been. Color dark ruby, medium-full body. Intense nose of focused mountain berries and flowers, cassis, tobacco, and major oak. A beautiful bouquet and the best part of this experience, but the oak is sticking out. Big wine on the palate with dark fruit and earth, but the components seem disjointed. Did not enjoy the finish at all, which was tight, oak showing very obviously, and the 14.7abv burning on the tail end. Drinking this blind I would guess the price point is 20-25, not 50. Can't believe this is the same wine GV gave a 94.
