Community Tasting Note

  April 23, 2012 - Was somewhat disappointed with this wine, after all the positive reviews. Very shy on the nose, with only slight aromas of red plum and flint peeking through. It's lush on the palate, though, offering notes of ripe black cherry, fruit punch, raspberry-infused milk chocolate, and an interesting whisper of tarragon on the finish. It's plenty fleshy in flavor and silky on the tongue, but in the end it comes across as a bit flabby - even syrupy. The acidity just isn't sufficient to counter-balance the ripe fruit. Fans of soft, juicy-fruity wines may like it (not that there's anything wrong with that).
