Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 29, 2011 - the color of this wine is dark and rich. on the nose im getting lots of fruit like cherry and strawberry and lots of chocolate and licorice, and tons of oak. on the initial palate i get nice strawberry and cherry fruit then it moves to a strong chocolate licorice mid palate and the it finishes with an incredible spiciness and huge amounts of oak splintering in my mouth. the mouth feel of this wine is the best part of this wine. it is the most silky, smooth, thick, chewy feeling. the longer this wine sat the more the fruit blossomed and the more the oak calmed down so it eventually balanced. at 16% im surprised there wasnt more heat but it was not noticeable. overall i like this wine but really i was expecting more.
