Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 30, 2009 - I've been breaking into my '97s to see if rumors of their demise are true. The 1997 Viader Red Wine is at a good place. Youthful appearance of medium ruby with virtually no bricking. Blackberry cobler flavors are followed by sweet cherry tomatoes and a backbone of cedar and mint. Sounds odd, I know, but it works. Tannins are still significant. At first I thought it didn't need a decant but found it better with about 1/2 hour of air and a big rare steak. Drink now until 2012.
