Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 23, 2008 - Northern Rhones and other syrahs (Gurnee IL, Jordan's house): nose: really sexy nose of mocha, floral tones, vanillians, chalk , crushed berries, ripe cherries, some ciggarette ash, and even bits of bacon fat

taste: really fat feel with mixed berries, dark cherries, bacon fat, and mocha tones

overall: very sexy wine, but also very young. Lots of tannins still on it, this one will be a stunner when it emerges. great attack and finish, but the tannins kind of kill the mid palate. There's a lot to like about this wine and one to have some fun with in a few years
