Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 24, 2015 - Was good on opening, tastes of plum, black current, cinnamon, and a hint of clove, oak was not over powering but evident and it had a nice finish and unfortunately not much mid.

I did love this bottle at the barrel tasting when purchased, and have had a number of good bottles throughout its short 10 years, enjoyable but not mind blowing. As the other reviews say, it is not a multi dimensional wine, though IMHO it is a good bottle, but for the price tag would have expected it to be a great bottle and at a minimum should have held up much better, even evolved over time.

Unfortunately, at this point, once opened it needs to be consumed quickly - would not recommending decanting as it does start to fall apart the longer exposed to air. After 30 min - 1 hr, started to develop some green pepper even sour notes. On its decline, so drink em up if you got em', definitely don't think it would get any better and IMHO don't think they will hold up too much longer.
