Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 10, 2012 - Had this at a restaurant. Needs hours and hours of decanting, so the amount of time open did not do the wine justice. Still very young with much tannin still to resolve. That being said, it is a very good wine and has much promise. Very dark purple with bright highlights. Flavors changed constantly as the wine opened. Started with plum and tar and mustiness then to dried cherry with smoke and leather, and later to blackberry. Interestingly, I also smelled the soapiness that Jancis Robinson mentions, but only in the early stages - this disappears mid-way through.
I would be happy to have this wine in my cellar, but if I did I would wait 10 years to drink it.
