Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 25, 2008 - One glass was poured stright from the bottle, the other was poured through a Venturi wine aerator. As far as taste and smell, I couldn't detect any difference. There was a noticeable difference in the tannin, with the wine poured through the Venturi a bit softer.

Very nice nose, ripe berries and a bit of oak which isn't quite integrated yet. Mushrooms, earth, dried herbs on the long finish. Very tannic but it softened appreciably after an hour and a half in the glass. Best to let this rest a few more years to tame the tannins and round it out. Excellent wine.
