Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 15, 2005 - Inky dark purple in the glass. I decated a half bottle yesterday for 5 hours and was amazed how open the nose was for business. Tonight, I did not decant the remainder of the bottle that I had sealed under inert gas immediately yesterday. Big mistake...nose gives very little. On the palate, the wine was very tannic yesterday as much as it is today. Nice fruit though that is reinforced by tobacco and leather as well as cedar notes. Super long finish. The only thing I'm missing with this wine is the silky texture I was hoping for. Texture seems a bit clumsy. All in all, a very good $20 bottle of wine.
