Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - Deep ruby in the glass. Nose presents a dustiness, sweet rather than savory spices, clean cherry fruitiness, tobacco, tar, oak, and an interesting herbal note that was quite pleasant, almost minty and asparagus. After some breathing there was a nice chocolate/mint synergy that emerged (grashopper?). Nice mineral,structure and integration. Interesting wine, especially with it's slightly older age. I think I enjoyed this the most in the tasting which says something about my palate for Carmenere since this was decidedly the odd man out in terms of style, lacking much of the harsh greenness, smoke, and peppercorn that most others showed.
