Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 14, 2015 - OK, let's see if 3 more years have softened this wine... Notes from day 3; Opaque purple-black with a ruby rim. Nose is plum, cherry, hint of tobacco. Somewhat astringent, but fruit is there. Blackberry, black cherry. Still a hard core of minerality and dryness, almost (but not quite metallic) in character. Much better, but tannins are still quite strong. "21 months in Reserve French oak" may come with a time-out penalty. Ei liked on day 1. Recommend another several years before drinking, as the tannins in this wine are still in the 1% range for cabs.
