Community Tasting Note

  August 30, 2009 - Same notes as last time- slightly lower score. Dark, clear inky purple color, tight nose that truthfully didn't suggest any particular flavor profile. (But my sense of smell isn't that great to begin with.) Medium bodied mouth feel suggesting a not-very-tannic merlot. Surprisingly smooth for such a young wine with little "bite" on the pallate. Good fruit flavor including plum, dark cherry and blackberries. Had a good long finish that was didn't turn harsh or off-balance. Overall, a pretty good daily driker that I would seek out again. Thank goodness for the BevMo $0.05 sale for the opportunity to find pleasant opportunities like this one.
