Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 14, 2012 - did not taste as ripe as the 2006 I had a few months ago, but was more lightweight in style while still retaining all the blue and black fruits. most got blueberries on the nose and said it smelled cool (literally, as in temperature, and they weren't commenting on serving conditions - it was as if cold had a smell), while one taster said it was like a glass of raspberry frozen yogurt minus the sweetness. not as satisfying as 2006 on the palate, it lacked weight, although it traded a bit of fruit for that weight and tannin after several hours in the decanter. by the end of the bottle, though, it had more structure than fruit and had become a bit more astringent then pleasurable. should last for quite some years yet.
