Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 4, 2011 - A pleasant enough wine, but a tad inelegant for my taste. A soda-fountain cherry syrup, cherry cough drop flavor upon opening springs out at you mid-palate, surprisingly commercial and gauche. Almost like an artificial flavor enhancer. Still very, very tannic at this stage. A half hour's airing in hopes of mellowing the tannins resulted only in a loss of fruit, which became quite thin, and the introduction of a vegetal, herbal note. May evolve into something fun, but it may take 10 years for that to happen and I suspect the fruit, thin as it is, will die before the tannins do.
