Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 5, 2008 - A tremendous disappointment. Decanted one hour. Nice color and clarity, but the wine lacked aromatic intensity, delivering up a weak nose of violet, oak, and tar. Not much fruit to be found here. In the mouth, it was medium bodied, and well balanced between juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins, and it did have a very long finish. Unfortunately, it feels like the "mute" button had been pressed. This isn't a big wine, and wasn't satisfying. Dr. Jay Miller and I may simply have incompatible palates - the fact that this is a "extraordinary" wine in his judgment baffles me.
