Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 25, 2012 - I’ve tasted this wine approximately six or seven times and it keeps getting better. This time I get a more developed color: a medium reddish-ruby color; bricking apparent. Yellowish-browning at the rim. A perfume-like fragrance on the nose, with highly complex aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, saddle leather, bacon fat (not overwhelming, but just right), violets, soy, olive, tar, herbs and spices.. Big, rich, velvety and smooth in the mouth. Just about perfect structure and balance. A long and lingering leather and bacon fat finish. Pairs very well with Christmas Turkey and all the trimmings. But, it is a wine to mostly appreciate by itself. The wine is getting close to the middle of its development plateau; should last for years. Monumental stuff and my kind of wine!
