Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 - Since I had bottles of both vintages on hand, thought I'd do a direct comparison between the 2008 vs. the 2007

After decanting for @ 1 hour:

Nose was not quite as complex with noticeably less vanilla and a little more vegetable (mostly celery)

Taste was a little more tannic than '07, with less mocha, but still lots of cherry. Finish is short with mild amounts of cherry.

Overall, not quite as good as the 2007, but still better than average for the price range.
