Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 24, 2015 - Despite having mellowed over the past year, this is still simply a monster of a wine - in a good way. Big nose showing dark berry fruits and a lot of oak. Layered, deep, concentrated, rich, ripe blackberry and boysenberry fruit, and a huge structure with firm , slightly drying tannins and sharp-edged acidity. Full-bodied with a slightly rough texture. Finish is a bit clipped in comparison to all the power on the palate, but still very enjoyable. Very tight when opened, it needs plenty of airtime. Overall, massive and powerful, and still just a juvenile.
