Community Tasting Note

NineteenEightyTwo Likes this wine:

Monday, May 27, 2013 - The sommelier warned us about significant bottle variation. Nonetheless, he tasted this one and deemed it one of the "good" bottles. He was not incorrect; popped and poured, it immediately showed a massive, concentrated nose of chocolate, accompanied by a rubbery latex smell (this is not unpleasant). Allowed to breathe for an hour, this expanded to encompass more bitter cocoa aromas, along with a woody cedar scent and a whiff of acetone. On the palate this had a rich and juicy flavor reminiscent of stewed tomatoes. The tannins were bright and well-integrated but still supportive; experience shows this will bear another decade of maturation at the least.
