Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Monday, June 27, 2011 - The fill was into the neck and the cork was sound; popped, poured and consumed over the course of 2 hours. Youthful purple-ruby color, with no signs of age; Nicole thought it was less than 10 years old! Aromas of leather, plum, and a hint of roasted fennel. Medium-bodied, with a good grip and structure, very expansive on the palate, noticeable but very ripe tannins, great depth of flavor, and a long and focused finish. As an aside, I had brought this from the home cellar in PA to the beach house in FL less than 48 hours previously, and it obviously held up quite well over the 1200+ mile journey!
