Community Tasting Note

  June 17, 2010 - LOTS of barnyard when first opened. With 2 1/2 hours in the shoulders, the bretty aromas had dissipated a great deal. Barely a hint of age; still basically ruby. A bit austere in the nose, with hints of cherry and animal fur. The palate impression is fairly vertical and reserved, lots of spicy earth, dark-dark cherry fruit, and a hint of anise, with fine but noticeable tannins on the finish. More structure than fruit. This is still young, but with aeration is approachable. Cries out for a fatty steak. I will wait at least another 2 years to open my next.
