Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - Opened by accident & what welcome event!
Short note - its in a great place.

Long note: Started way funky with petroleum and bad earth scents.
Then turned deeply delicious, full of terroir and rounded integrated oak notes. Tannins resolved but not very silky.
Nevertheless this possesses the aged cab elements I seek: Cigar box, chocolate, cassis, etc.

But the bottle does not hold up very long, as it began a fast descent about an hour after opening. So best served PnP to a table of 4 people one glass each.
Lots o sediment which brings a bit of a conundrum: Decanting just may cause this to quickly fall off due to too much air. Yet the solids are not small. So judge accordingly.
We poured carefully from the bottle until the last 20%.
