Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 5, 2010 - Dark red, purple fringes. Take a whiff, and it's a modestly fruity, strawberry, effort, with some wood chips. Give it a swirl and bury your nose in the glass and wet, woody strawberry/cherriness just drips, seriously drips, from the top of your nose to the bottom. I'm not usually a big fruit fan, but this is so concentrated, jammy and indulgent that I'm in love. Maintains the woodiness when tasted, and much of the fruit does go away. Dancingly light tannins and a short finish, but pleasant. It's all about the nose on this one.

I really panned a bottle of this a while ago, noting that I had let it decant for a while. Given the above, don't let it decant!
