Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 8, 2015 - Decanted prior to serving, wine threw very little sediment. Clear, deep garnet with a light purple rim. Medium intensity, developed nose of blueberries and black cherries, orange peel, tobacco, leather, a touch vegetal (bell pepper, straw), and wet earth. Palate is dry, medium across the board (acid, tannin, body, alcohol, intensity, and length). Palate disappoints. Fruit is sadly muted. Plenty of weight, acid, etc., just not much flavor.

Drink up folks, this wine is fading. I definitely remember it having much more life when I last opened a bottle in 2012 for a blind-tasting when it was the star of the night.
