Community Tasting Note

Thursday, September 10, 2009 - The color was sepia toned, with a lot of brown to the red wine. It was kind of cloudy, thick-looking (but not thick-feeling). The nose is where you really can tell the age, with that old wine smell. There is a big chunk of wild mushrooms/fungus in there, kind of a deep forest floor smell. On the palate there are bright dried cranberries (unsweetened), moving into a big hit of rhubarb and tart red cherries, ending with a lingering sense of herbs on the finish. There are still tons of tannins, with big acid getting the juices running. The flavors are very lively and intricate, and it really doesn’t taste as aged as the nose led us to believe. For me, this was a wine to sip without food, so we could examine and think about it.
