Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 4, 2009 - Poured from a 375ml. Initial nose was musty, dank, unpleasant. This blew off quickly in the glass. First taste right out of the bottle seemed all over the place. Smoothed out after an hour in the decanter and glass when the beautiful blue and dark berry fruits emerged, although not as present as I was expecting. Overall an outstanding, lively, smooth wine - but it took a while. Definitely decant, at least 1-2 hours - you will be rewarded. The acid test for me is by the time the 1/2 bottle was finished, I wanted more ! Very nice, long finish.
