Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 - Decanted and approached almost immediately. I like the nose of roasted fruit and sweet pork sausage, the body and color was not what I expected and the wine seemed almost as disjointed. Maybe we rushed it, maybe it was stored really poorly, but overall this left me underwhelmed. After reading reviews on here and online I expected it to be a bit more over the top and massive. It began to evolved a bit more as time passed but it became more fruit forward and more 1 dimensional (although the graphite on the finish attempted to add something but it ended up tasting more awkward than integrated). The acidity on this wine is like a punch in the face and so the balance is somewhat off too. I usually like it to counter the creaminess of the body but everything hits you at once. I may try it again and let it breathe for a bit longer since I seem to be the only one who is not impressed.
