Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 19, 2011 - A really terrific, well-made specimen. I didn't take full notes, but can say with confidence that this is the first wine I've ever actually tasted a distinct "black tea" component. The unique dustiness, integrated tannins, unshakable balance, and perfect mouthfeel on this wine were really tremendous as well. I'd rate it even higher, but unfortunately, I was a tad disappointed - based on the previous notes and GV's review, I expected this wine to absolutely explode with flavor, and while it was certainly complex, it seems tightly wound and just a bit empty in places (maybe not empty, but closed) - the next bottle will definitely get a rigorous aeration treatment. Overall, though, really, really good stuff.
