Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 16, 2012 - Decanted for roughly 2.5 hours. This is a dark, intensely concentrated purple wine. On the nose, there is mint, tobacco, and plum sauce, with a hint of alcohol emerging on the background. In the mouth, the wine conveys smooth red fruits, with fully integrated and tamed tannins. There is a sense of refinement to this wine. The finish carries the red fruit through for 30-45 seconds. Overall, this is a ripe but not overblown wine, which brings a very enjoyable experience. Nevertheless, I have the sense that the wine aspires for something more; perhaps it will get there, perhaps not. 92 points.
