Community Tasting Note

  May 25, 2011 - This is an interesting blend, in the style of a right-bank Bordeaux, that requires at least an hour in the decanter to exhibit its potential. Clear, deep intensity garnet color. Clean nose, with medium to pronounced intensity. Aroma of black current, black cherry, spice, glycerine. Palate is dry, medium body, noticeable acid and tannins. The flavor notes are a bit out of balance, particular prior to a healthy amount of time in the decanter. Ultimately, the fruit comes through, with a bit more tart cherry. Medium length. A good expression of the varietals and style, this would work well with a heavy meat dish, such as short ribs.
