Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 26, 2009 - Interestingly, it was hard to tell this wine had any age on it. The robe was dark red with absolutely no signs of bricking. Nose offered concentrated dark fruits, primarily prunes and raisins, with a trace of cigar left over in the empty glass. Even experienced a slight burn in my nostrils from all the alcohol vapors emanating from volatizing this wine, indicating this was likely a big bruiser in its youth. The palate was surprisingly refined with kirsch, raisins, prunes and a dusty cocoa powder note that emerged with air. Tannins were well integrated, and the mouth feel was full and borderline silky. Overall, not the most layered aged cabernet I've had, but still a very nicely refined wine that had retained depth and interest over the years.
