Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 8, 2014 - decanted one hour. purple-red; anise & warm black stones on nose w/cedar closet & wood fire; med/++ bodied; black licorice, dense dark plummy fruit under more dominant black minerals, still noticeable tannins & substantial acids. having bought this wine in several vintages ('04 - '07), yet to see it reach a completely resolved mature state, so can't predict the time line on this particular bottle. seems to be well-balanced, structure is there, so will give remainders several more years to develop. showed a particularly savory component complementary to dinner.

harissa & buttermilk-marinated roasted chicken thighs; red onion, pumpkin, sweet potato & brussel sprouts roasted with spanish chorizo & sherry vinegar
