Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 18, 2010 - Tasted blind, this wine showed a medium red center with an oranging rim. The nose took many hours to blossom, eventually showing a high- intensity nose of tobacco, roses, cherries, and some tar.

It was very suave in the mouth at first but the rounded tannins grew larger as the wine aired. These tannins, and the acidity, provided excellent length. While drinking to some degree, this needs to be decanted for 6+ hours or given 10 more years in the bottle to show its best. My score could move up a point or two with more bottle age.
