Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - Greatly enjoyed this wine last night at the monthly meeting of the Hickory Wine Club at Lake Hickory CC as part of a '92 - '97 vertical tasting, what a flight, my second favorite wine of the flight. Huge dark bouquet of oak, earth, dark fruit and blackberry. Very muscular and concentrated and definitely needed time if glass to open up. Inky black, very well balanced, very full bodied and complex with enough tannins and structure for years of cellaring. Primary flavors included cassis, strong dark fruit, well balanced oak with development of black tea, smoke and black pepper on a long aftertaste. Yowsers, highly recommend this wine.
