Community Tasting Note

  September 30, 2009 - Popped and poured after being pulled from a cold cellar and stood up for an hour. Nose gives the impression of roses and violets, but with a cool overtone and notes of cocoa. There's no noticeable oak at all (and this was, if I recall correctly, only about 30% new oak). All of these notes follow through on the palate. It certainly has fruit sweetness but that's balanced by the acid. The finish has a slight dusting of tannins but these are fine vs coarse. Very nice stuff. I put half of this in a 375 for tomorrow and I'll update the note then.
