Community Tasting Note

• Tyler_at_WWD Likes this wine: 90 points

  January 2, 2012 - Oaky vanilla-like tones introduce this wines aroma with deep berry notes emerging immediately after. Sweet smelling kitchen spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg appear, giving way to a subtle foresty undertone, notes of blackberry bush, and a hint of black pepper.
  
  Bright, rich, and incredibly ripe on the palate, this wine is loaded with deep fruit tones. Forest berries, plump blackberries, and tea leaves show at first, with black stone, espresso, and black pepper also making an appearance. This wine is very full bodied and velvety, almost faintly creamy, with a great balancing acidity. A great wine even at twice the price, this is easily worth buying.
