Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 375ml bottle. 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. 13.5% alcohol. Subtle nose. Notes of mint, raspberry, and strawberry with hints of oak. Medium-bodied with sour tannins. Aftertaste is bitter like pomelo skin. Long and dry finish. Elevated level of acidity. Not approachable unlike a lot of young Bordeaux 2009 wines which are delicious now. Will require long term cellaring to soften the tannins and hope acidity will not overwhelm other components. Showing a bit better on 2nd day, gains weight, softer tannins but still very dry aftertaste. 90-92 pts.
