Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 5, 2016 - My Grade: EXX-. An outstanding effort from a Chateau that flys under the radar somewhat. After 3 hours of air the color developed into an exceptionally deep, almost black, purple with a black cherry rim. Expressive and gorgeous nose of blue and black fruit, menthol, vanilla, mushrooms, burnt toast. Lively and complex on the palate, with waves of intense briar fruit, fine grained tannins, succulent and mineral mid-palate, long sour-blackberry finish, great structure and acidity to last for decades (see my profile for grades).

This will undoubtedly continue to improve, should be stunning in 7-10 years ( see my profile for grades)
