Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes)

 Tasted by David J Cooper on 12/28/2009: Dark as a starless night. Sweet monolithic black fruit. Maybe a hint of coffee as well but not much happening other then the dark fruit in the nose. Extremely tight and tannic. I'm not sure this will change for at least a decade or two. (55 views)
 Tasted by mwanasheria on 10/14/2009 & rated 89 points: Excellent. Deep purple colour, long finish. (140 views)
 Tasted by vinole on 7/2/2009 & rated 92 points: Bigger fruit and body than I expected with fairly low acidity. The ripeness gave a long finish that had a hint of sweetness and some sediment. Very enjoyable wine, that tasted like a lush, modern style Brunello with a little extra firmness from the 20% or so cab content. (256 views)
 Tasted by toofine on 3/7/2009 & rated 92 points: (185 views)
 Tasted by mburke on 1/1/2008: Nice wine, ripe fruit somewhat international in style but with some nice complexity and well integrated tannins and acidity. Drinking pretty nicely. (503 views)
 Tasted by Rubinstein on 3/29/2007 & rated 91 points: Very nice but needs a bit more time. (674 views)
 Tasted by Employee500 on 9/6/2006 & rated 84 points: Clearly this was either an off bottle, or in some terrible closed down phase. Awkward with obvious oak and vanilla, but no identifiable fruitiness. Thick and disjointed, something like an Australian Shiraz stripped of its fruit...

Strange and disappointing.... (944 views)
 Tasted by andersonl on 12/26/2004 & rated 94 points: inky slightly sweet - fantastic, need to get more. deep purple color (1162 views)
 Tasted by KellyW on 12/3/2004 & rated 90 points: A bit more rustic than previous vintages. Gorgeous nose. Good solid red berry with a finish of black tea. (1369 views)
