Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 30, 2010 - And here begins my contribution to the great 2008 Anthill Farms smoke debate: It's in there... but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have identified it as "smoke" if it wasn't the only thing going through my head when I tasted this. It's not a bad wine at all... the pedigree of the declassified juice is apparent: beautiful nose; very light, delicate and balanced in the mouth but with a big flavor impact. Quite a nice finish too, but there on the back of the palate... what is that funny taste? Is that smoke (or campfire, or whatever you want to call it)? Yup. I applaud the guys at Anthill for declassifying some of their upper end bottlings into this generic bottling and being upfront about it all. I plan on leaving my remaining bottles in the cellar for a while, the balance should carry this a long way.
