Community Tasting Note

  February 15, 2013 - Open 2 Hours.
  Expansive deep aromas of plums, Oriental spices, minerals, earth, anis, and bacon fat. A kaleidoscope of rich and creamy flavors. Layers of black cherries, plums, minerals, earth, game, Oriental spices, anis, and bacon fat. From the fore palate to the endless finish they swirl and expand, filling the palate. There is a bottomless quality to this wine and a rich weightiness made expansive by perfectly framing acidity. Grows more minerally and spicy as the finish goes on ( and on ). I am sure it can be measured in minutes, but am too busy enjoying the wine to time it.
  A Note Of Caution: Upon opening the wine was delicious, but simple and fragile feeling. I was concerned that it was either fading or a quick maturing bottle. It just needed a lot of time to fully emerge from its shell. It really began to shine after 90 minutes, but hit its peak about 15 minutes later. If in a hurry do decant.
