Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 17, 2010 - 2nd bottle. Decanted (3/4 of bottle) for 2 hours, in-glass for another 3 hours; 1/4 of bottle was left in bottle, resealed, and consumed over the next 2 days. Dark purple color and typically effusive nose of blackberries and sweet spices. The palate is full, round, and smooth. Well-integrated flavors of blackberry, plum, sweet dough, and a mild pepperiness on the finish. The following days revealed more floral aromas, and the palate added a honey-bacon element, and remained in balance for the duration. Impressive now, but I'm certain that this wine's best days are still a good 2+ years out. Far better than the first bottle (about a year ago), and nearly as good as the Atlantis Syrah.
