Community Tasting Note

NineteenEightyTwo Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 4, 2015 - Decanted and consumed over an hour. Opaque rosewood color. Nose of ink, green stalks, beef blood and clove. With some air, this took on an expansive floral aroma. The palate is rich and brooding, with ample ripe blackberry and an understated (but additive) accent of wood. The tannins have smoothed out enough to make this enjoyable today, but remain firm and drying enough that another decade in the cellar should allow further olfactory and gustatory nuance to unfold. Overall, more evidence that 2007 is a generous and accessible vintage. However, I didn't get much from this wine that I didn't get from Seavey's Caravina, which offers better value at $55 vs. nearly $95 for the Cabernet.
