Community Tasting Note

theRealPepe Likes this wine:

Friday, March 2, 2018 - Dark red verging on ruby. Fine aromas of coffee, cherry and leather. Palate is more austere with leather predominate. Fruit for the most part hinted at rather than tasted until the last glass of the approximately half bottle drunk on night one (decanted by the way.) Overall, a fine accompaniment for wagyu New York strips. Did I note this is from the super-hot 2003 vintage? Doesn't have overripe or much ripe fruit. But, given glacial yet noticeable development over the last 13 years, I wager that this would make a surprisingly outstanding drink at age 25 or 30. Alas, for my last bottle, this is merely Excellent.
