Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 19, 2012 - Medium ruby, primary looking. Very piercing scents of blackberry, anise and leafiness. Relatively full but still fairly stern with high acidity, some green notes and substantial tannins. Mildly oaky base. Good but does not seem to have moved much compared to the last tasting almost 3 years ago. The fruit finally showed a hint of sweetness after 2 hours. Although you can enjoy this now for its youthful grip, much better to hold (for 5+ years?) so that it can properly develop. At this point, the nose is well ahead of the palate.
