Community Tasting Note

  January 26, 2010 - Popped and poured. What a nose! Some smoky sausage or koscher hot dog meaty aroma. Light medium bodied. Nice well balanced and intense full palate attack of fruit, herb, pepper & garrique. But this intensity quickly dissipates into a more subdued mineral and tannin finish. While there is some complexity in the attack, the finish is fairly simple. ... >>>> After 90 minutes or so the finish improves with more of the flavors in the attack. Roll this around to get the full palate of flavors. It is very quaffable. Will update the next day if my wife and I dont' finish it off. Next day. More fruit forward and more fruit in the finish. The herb garrigue notes are not as evident the 2nd day. Overall interesting wine. I'm tempted to get another couple bottles for holding a couple years.
