Community Tasting Note

  August 15, 2006 - Indeed, odd smelly nose when 1st opened (not corked but wet dog/leathery?). While I did get some sense of grenache on the palate, it truly was disjointed. By the end of the first night, I kept getting cola notes. Will let it sit and see how it evolves in 24 hours.
  
  No funky smell the second night. I am now getting the licorice notes and the black fruit taste. And, while the tannins are winning the war, the acidity is putting up a valiant effort. I did not decant this and I must say, it's got the longest strands of sediment I've yet to see in a bottle of wine!
