Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 3, 2014 - Purchased at Berns, this was the Baron Sarget bottling with a mid to high shoulder fill. It had a red/purple center with light red/orange rims. The high intensity nose of currants, blackberries, sandalwood, mocha, and mint. It had a 100 point nose.

Not surprisingly, this wine tasted a bit funky for the first hour. It continued to develop for about 3 hours and was only at the 93 level after 1.5 hours. At its best this wine was refined, streamlined and complex. It had light rounded tannin and firm acidity. Some might complain it didn't have enough fruit but the complexity was impressive. It started to fade after 4 hours.

Certainly ready!
