Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 31, 2012 - The wine is a deep, dark purple color. The very nice and inviting nose has cassis, roasted herbs, baking spices, fresh ground dark roast coffee, dried herbs, cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of eucalyptus. This has medium to full body with big, ripe tannins and good acidity. The wine is rich and plush on the palate with loads of crushed berries, baking spices, and dark chocolate. There are dried herbs and cherries coming in on the backend filling out the palate and adding depth. The finish is long and rich with a bit of vanilla creeping in as well a some eucalyptus and dark chocolate. This is delicious right now but with all the richness, I don't know if this will be one to hold long term. I'd advise enjoying over the next several years.
