Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 23, 2015 - A beautiful ride off into the sunset, and your horse passes through a blooming cherry orchard bordered by cedars; your leather saddle was rubbed with high-quality tobacco yesterday. It's a big herbal cherry sun that is setting, and you can taste it, with a sprinkling of spices, and the satiny union of the tannins are upon you, so subtle that you wish for more at first, you must be patient as the velvet embrace deepens, insinuating itself deep within you in a silky smooth process, until a final slow-motion fillip of astringency touches the front of your mouth. The cork was wet and crumbly almost to the top. Definitely time to drink this wine; wish I had more.
A great wine to drink in solitary contemplation, or quietly, with friends.
