Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 7, 2008 - Dinner with Friends (Carlos' Resturaunt, Highwood IL): nose: right off the bat you get the Mr Ed horsey smells, but as the wine opened up, it reavealed much more complexity and an insane amount of depth. Very muscular and precise tones of graphite, dark cherry, sour cranberry, chalk, roasted herbs, smoke and toast tones

taste: insanely dense and filled with layer upon layer. This is the kind of feel that stops you in your tracks and you just want to enjoy the moment. The tannins are fairly well resolved but the flavors are still fairly primary. Loads of leather, tobbacco, sour cranberry, dark cherry, smoke, and toast unwind in your mouth with each layer providing more complexity

overall: this is a stunning wine that still hasnt reached it's peak. The layers just unfold in your mouth and its the layers that make the wine. An amazing supple attack that then leads into a muscular mid palate and finish that doesn't quit. This is an absolutely stupendous wine that lived up to my expectations
