Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - So so good. Nose is dense, tight berry/cassis, a touch of spice, and a good dose of menthol/eucalyptus. No olive or jalapeno that I detected. Palate was as I'd expect after the nose. Tannins are still there but faded. Acid structure is excellent.
With air it improved somewhat and then hit a plateau for the remainder of the bottle. No signs of it being end of life at all, rather I think it will continue to improve for a few more years yet. Just a gorgeous bottle of wine. I'll try my next bottle in 2016 or so.
