Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 3, 2007 - Tasted at a "pop and pour" dinner, with no opportunity to decant, which I think this could have used, perhaps 20 mins. Right out of the bottle, nose is like a pencil factory surrounded by a horse farm. Some leather, manure and lead. The palate is softer, lighterand more integrated, still plenty of tannins to work off but enough fruit to make them acceptable. Unclear how this will evolve. Fruit is there, but not way out in front; something tells me this wine should be drunk within the next five years. Hopefully the fruit will outlast the tannins as they continue to integrate.
