Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - Not decanted. Opened at 9:45pm

Nose: Brilliantly attractive yet complex bouquet of sweet figs, honey and licorice. This was only a few minutes after opening!

Color: Dark ruby edge, almost back core. Deceptively young looking

Palate: Surprisingly open. Good concentration of subtle fruits with the tannins almost completely integrated. This is a stark contrast to the bottle I had last year, which was very young, closed, tannic and unready. An hour later, it was still relatively forward with subtle floral and decadent perfume nose. Very sexy wine which I really enjoyed. Need to get more of these as I am down to my last bottle after this one.
