Community Tasting Note

  April 16, 2007 - As with the 2003, I am impressed by the wine's ability to thrive in the face of oxidation. This particular bottle was opened almost a week ago and, without any gassing or vacuum-pumping, it continues to impress. The alcohol is definitely noticeable, yet the dark cherry/berry fruit persists. Oak flavors are barely present. The mineral taste of limestone remains once the wine is swallowed, providing a wonderful sensation that commands another sip. Sadly, the alcohol has nothing to hide behind, and the stomach begins to warm up.
  
  I know of few wines that retain their identity after so many days following uncorking. I believe this wine will age for over a decade.
