Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 12, 2005 - Opened initially at 5pm. Atr first it was a little restrained with some brett on the nose. That blew off after about an hour. Put half the bottle into a 375 for later. After 2 hours was a soft, round nice wine full of black friuts. Left the remainder in the decantur the rest of the night.

Next day at noon it really had picked up alot of flavor, lots of currant and lead pencil. Really started to take on somewhat of a Montelena profile. Will open the other half bottle in the 375 tomorrow to see what has developed. All in all, a good $50 to $60 wine, would probably go and find more at that price (alot of storees have it discounted since it was an off vintage). No where near the '87, '95, '97 or '01 that I have had of theirs, but not the price either.
