Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 12, 2009 - Bought this at the restaurant after a two day meeting. We were fried and wanted to get something nice. It was a good value and, even better, the company paid. Had it decanted and waited 15 minutes which was not even close to being long enough. Took another 30 minutes in the glasses before it started to open up. Nice nose of dark fruits, wet rock well balanced with oak. Well balanced mix of fruit, vanilla with oaky overtones. Long finish with strong tannins. I wanted to get this because I've had three in the cellar for 3 years and was wondering. I'll hold those another 2-4 years before trying this again and will go with a very long decant before I try and approach it.
