Community Tasting Note

  February 7, 2010 - I've been waiting for this one without too much support for the mid-range Rosemount wines. So in that sense I'm not disappointed. I took galewskj's advice about splash decanting and I've had it open for a couple of hours now. It was throwing a bit of sediment so I suggest a decant from now on.
  It's a Cab and may need more time to open up; there is still some tannins there that may make the next one a bit better. I'm going to leave it for another six months before I open the next. No rush on this one. Deep plum color with a modest fruit start, heavy and oily on the palate and the finish is still a bit bitter. Flavor is beaten up by the tannins. Nothing special at all after more than two years in a good cellar (bought Nov/07) How sad.
