Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - Dark in the glass. Detectable oak behind a wall of dark cherries, plums, and dry soil. Feels nice in the mouth, somewhat mid-weight but with a fuller intensity. The acid here is strong but balanced and rises into the mid-palate and falls through the finish nicely. The tannins are dusty and come in late and gentle. More dark fruit characters here on the palate, dark cherry, plum, blackberry and even some earthy funk. Medium length finish. I plan on sitting on my remaining bottles, this is cool wine and should age nicely. 88+ EDIT: day 2, I was trying to figure out how to talk to a hint of disjointedness in the feel of the wine on the first day, day 2 is showing a much better constitution, the fullness of the flavor has match well with the body finally. The tannins and acidity are still balanced and the tannins lightly constrict the mouth for what seems like 30-40 seconds. This is some nice wine, I'd be willing to move this to 89 today.
