Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 3, 2009 - popped and poured into the decanter, at 30 minutes tried a sample. Color was an opaque purple/alcohol, briar, spice and dark fruit was on the nose/the wine was very grapey and sweet wo much complexity at this point...after 3 hours in the decanter, tannins had firmed up, and still at the level of before, not impressed...poured back into the bottle for day two, much improved, nose of mushrooms, alcohol and blueberries/tannins had settled but were still present on the finish. Very sweet. No where near the complexity or enjoyment of the 03. I will let my other bottle rest, reduction is evident...where is the beef and iodine that I enjoyed so much in past vintages, perhaps this vintage was a freak...I wish I would have hit the bid last year on these, par for the course for my experience with the 04 reds (Reva/Lorraine/Pandora/Seymour's)
