Community Tasting Note

  October 27, 2006 - Tasted blind. Deep purple in color, with a light nose of brown sugar and rich plums. Seemed rather Oz-like on the nose - I was thinking shiraz here. A blast of very rich (slightly sweet) redfruits in the front of the palate, then substantial tannins kicked in at the end. Couldn't hazard a guess with this one - I might have half-heartedly suggested Zinfandel - and when the wine was revealed I was rather shocked: this was not a CNP to me. Actually, I thought it was an abomination of a CNP; too ripe and rather unbalanced right now, although time will hopefully improve the latter. Not my style...
