Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2012 - High shoulder , cork broke and decanted to separate sediment. Some mild bricking noted. At first this wine was barnyard-y thin on the mid palate and overall underwheming, but after consuming for about 20 min with decanter set at cellar temp, this wine blossomed beautifully. Some some plumb faint cherry and cedar on the nose with dusty red fruits and very mellow but present tannins on the back end finishing with similar notes with some faint blackberry making an appearance on the finish. This wine then started to fade after hour 2. I enjoyed this wine, but would not jump through hoops to find it again. My palate still leans towards younger more vibrant wines verses the mellow elegance these vintages bring to the table.
