Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 28, 2013 - Had this the other night at a friends. I think the bottle had been opened an hour or so beforehand, no decant. Appealing and generous bouquet of ripe fruits. Smooth and polished on the palate with nice lift and a long final filling things out beautifully. Tannins are just distinguishable and very fine grained.
Nice acidic lattice that generates the lift - I would say these are in the start of their optimal window now and will hold on this plateau for at least another 5 years.
