Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 13.5% alcohol. 62% cabernet, 38% cab franc. not decanted, followed in the glass for 3 hours. a previous bottle of this was not a pretty picture, so i had some trepidation about opening this last bottle from my cellar. loved the aromatics immediately upon opening, but the first fifteen minutes were marred by extreme heat on the finish. happily, that subsided, and, while not a blockbuster, it morphed into a solid performance. some green notes + sweet tannin. positive cab fruit integration. i can't see how this will improve with more storage time. i feel it is fully mature. drink now - 2012.
