Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 24, 2010 - Surprised how off the Wine Spectator review is: “light aromas of strawberry and milk chocolate”—say what? Try dark, cherry stained cedar, hints of sandalwood and some dried roses. The body is just now showing itself, though perhaps the hot vintage means this will not age much longer. Tannins still present but a pleasant part of the structure; breathing time should be at least 2 hours though. Dusty black cherry and very pure bittersweet chocolate, with a great plum backnote. Muscular but elegant and very enjoyable. Had with rib roast, caramelized onions, Israeli couscous, roasted carrots and brussel sprouts. The wine matched with everything, including the brussel sprouts, which we did not expect.
