Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 3, 2008 - Popped and poured with no decant. Dark ruby red color in the glass with lots of earth and leather and a bit of pipe smoke on the nose. The wine was very smooth with medium to full body. Fruit was subtle at first and really came around after an hour or so with concentrated dark fruit and berry flavors. The finish was initially dry and tannic but smoothed out nicely as well with more time. In hindsight, I probably should have decanted for an hour or two and that also would have been a good way to avoid the sediment, of which there was quite a lot. While this wine didn't blow me away initially, it was just starting to approach a great stage when we finished the bottle. I'll say 90-92.
