Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Thursday, December 25, 2014 - From a magnum. Opened 5 hours in advance. Slow ox'd.

Violets, pepper, game meat and black truffles. The wine starts off tight and austere. An hour in the glass opens the wine and a sweet, rich and ripe raspberry candied fruit evolves. A note of iron replaces the pepper and meat. The wine is firmly tannic but superbly balanced by the hedonistic fruit which, in turn, is nicely offset by the umami truffle flavour.
