Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 25, 2010 - No decant. Thck and syupy in the glass, ink dark with violet flashes. Massive concentrated nose of darkest fruit, toffee and blossoming oak accompanied by some attractive spiciness. Very overt nose, but just a tiny bit hot. Dense and hugely full bodied with all the blackcurrant fruit, chocolate and coffee you can imagine. Grainy but well- integrated tannins. Very meaty and forward. Long finish of spicy mocha and some blueberry. Enormous concentration and good complexity. Drink it now through 2012 or so - you don't want to lose that deep fruit, and not sure the structure is there for a long haul in the cellar. A true monster of a wine in every sense. Excellent if you like 'em big.
