Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Friday, December 30, 2011 - - Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of dusty and oak. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry and oak with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Cork disintegrated when opened.
Velvety finish. Oak on the front end with a phenomenal berry finish.

First glass:
Very drinkable without food. Not very complex in its flavors. Recommended drinking age puts this vintage past its prime, but a very pleasant surprise none the less.
