Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - Unusual wine.

First night. Completely reduced. Stinky. Unpleasant. Had planned to serve it at a dinner party but kept it in the kittchen.

Second night. Starting to come around. Cherries, minerals but lots of acidity and some reduced aromas. Ok, but not great.

Third night. Mostly sour cherry on the nose. Deep aromatic and interesting. A good nose. Palate is much more expressive with cherry (not quite as sour as on the nose), minerals and a nice spark of chocolate. Very pleasnat wine now. 91-2 tonight but much less the previous two nights.

Suggests a keeper in the cellar for another couple of years.
