Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 14, 2010 - Had this at a restaurant last summer with good Italian food, and was not impressed. Day 1: gave it plenty of time to open up this time around, had it with Italian food again, and still was not terribly impressed. Very pretty nose, with a touch of spice, bubblegum, roses, and dark fruit; nice acidity, restrained dark fruit, and very dry tannins; nice peppery finish, with black cherries. Days 2 and 3: what a difference. Everything has come together and is in balance. The fruit and intensity in particular have come to the front, and the dryness has softened. Probably an 87 on day one and an 89 on day 3. Very good for the price, but still nowhere near a top 100 wine.
