Community Tasting Note

  • JLL wrote: 92 points

    August 30, 2009 - Decanted for 3 hours, drank over 3 hours. Cork was perfect, however, this was a wine that seriously underperformed my expectations and past experience. Zero wow factor here. Nose was not giving much other than a bit of heat and black fruit. Taste was predominantly black fruit with brown spice surrounded by mocha (but aren't all NV cabs). Could not discern any developing secondary characteristics since my last bottle 20 months ago. Finish was long but undistinguished. The wine seemed to perform better after 5 hours...Note to self, either extend the decant time or hold off for another couple of years
