Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - My second bottle this fall/winter confirms that IMHO this wine does not live up to the quality hinted in other users' tasting note. The wine is open and accessible - no doubt about that. And the nose displays notes of earth, pepper, tobacco, black fruit. Very nice and classic nose. Palate is a bit disappointing. Basically, there is a lack of fruit in response to the unresolved tannins. Although not herbal, mid palate is a bit thin with earth and leather, while finish is a bit too aggresive with too much pepper. I doubt that there is enough fruit for 5-8 years more in the cellar. Based on the bottles I have tasted, I would start drinking this wine. Maybe I will leave one bottle in the cellar to test the claims of other users...
