Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 17, 2010 - Still fairly dark in the glass wine a nice deep red core and some bricking at the edges. Nose was somewhat reserved at first - dusty leather/cherries/mushrooms... But as the wine saw more air, the 'volume' was continually turned-up on the aromatics - violets, roses, more leather, dark cherries and a savory note that I just couldn't place. Palate was nice from the beginning and only got better with air, putting on weight minute by minute. Dusty cherries, sweet vanilla and tobacco leaf was accompanied by a fantastic lively mouth feel - acid driven, but with still some 38 year old tannin to give some grip and round everything out. Finish was long, driven by ample acidity - but gave a strong iron/iodine note on the finish that would come and go. Beautiful and complex wine that wows me with plenty of life still left.
