Community Tasting Note

Jason Rzutkiewicz Likes this wine:

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 - (13.5%) A fantastic nose this one shows nice plum and blackberry notes with black pepper, earthiness and hints of acidity. It starts juicy on the palate with dark fruits before a firm mineral backbone emerges that shows nice acidity and dries out the mid-palate. From there the finish turns leathery, showing licorice notes and vibrant tannins which linger nicely. This one feels big on the palate but has a cutting acidity which makes it lights on its feet. A food friendly offering that may mellow with some more time in the bottle (or in a decanter) but if you open it sooner rather than later lamb (or wild game) makes an excellent pairing.
