Community Tasting Note

  • Shoredog wrote: 90 points

    December 30, 2011 - - Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of dusty and oak. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry and oak with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Cork disintegrated when opened.
    Velvety finish. Oak on the front end with a phenomenal berry finish.

    First glass:
    Very drinkable without food. Not very complex in its flavors. Recommended drinking age puts this vintage past its prime, but a very pleasant surprise none the less.
