Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 3, 2016 - At home with a casual dinner, had almost forgotten about this wine. Really enjoyed it when it was young. Splash decanted, was fully open after 20 minutes and evolved over 2 hours.

Medium magenta/purple color. Nose of dark berries, blackberry jam. Plate is dark cherry, black fruit, forest floor, baking spice and cloves. Tannin structure is still intact, suggesting more life ahead.

This has aged nicely, I thought I may have let it go too long. May be past its prime but very nice to drink now. More elegant and settled than what I recall when it was young. Based on what I think I paid (~$25) the QPR here is outstanding.
