Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - Annual CdP Dinner (Edina Country Club, MN): -- 4 hour decant before the event --
-- tasted a single pour non-blind over approx. 30 min., and then another pour non-blind over approx. 15 min. about 1.5 hours later --
NOSE: lots of red-fruits; fruit leather; moderately expressive to expressive.
BODY: dark color; medium-full bodied.
TASTE: very ripe red fruit flavors, with a hint of leather and lots of garrigue; showing much better tonight than this same wine did two years ago: perhaps there’s hope for this wine after all.
