Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 4, 2011 - Wow! Yellowing-purple on the rim. Deep, deep dark garnet in the body; some bricking developing. Fragrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, saddle leather, bacon fat (initially a lot when first opened, but more subdued as the wine warmed), soy, tar, violet, herbs - highly complex. Big and elegant fruit in the mouth. Very nice finish (except for a very slight heat on the back palate) - about 30 seconds. Last consumed this wine at an NFL draft party in 2008, with wine friends. I think the wine should score higher, as it seems just a bit closed. Well stored. What a pleasure.
