Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 12, 2014 - Awesome Dinner with Friends (Erasmus, SQN, Saxum, Pride, Dehlinger++) (Out and about): My last bottle of a bunch of these. This is still a big, young wine and not yet at peak. It keep developing. The nose is cassis, slight cedar, a bit of rosemary. Great lush texture. Still some firm tannins. Showing tight layering on the palate. Slight heat on the midpalate, but finishes beautifully. One of those Napa wines that will drink well on its 20th birthday and beyond. I remember a lot of people questioning if the oak would outlast the fruit. That is not the case, there is still some oak here, but a lot more fruit.
