Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 15, 2007 - First impressions - don't drink this too quickly. It still has room to grow. Inital scents of black cherries gave way to a more sophistocated leather, pine and smoke and an occasional fountain cola wafted by. The flavors took a bit longer to open up with the black cherries (sometime Ludens like) hitting right up front. This wine was made to accompany a meal not to be the main course. As a supporting actor it is a fine choice for dinner with no disappointments. However, drink it too quickly and you might miss the subtle show. --- Note from following day... The cola cherry flavors solidly there followed by smoke -- still a few years left; DAY 3 48 hours later What a lovely way to finish a wine... All of the flavors settled into a gentle and perfect balance. The mouthfeel was silky and long... milder fruit with hints of tobacco and earth with only a touch of cola and spice. Very nice. This one has longer legs than originally thought!
