Community Tasting Note

  August 22, 2013 - The wine is a deep, dark ruby to purple color. The explosive nose is full of blackberries, cassis, smoke, dark bittersweet chocolate, charred meat, melted licorice, vanilla, warm baking spices, and violets. This is full bodied with moderate to solid ripe tannins and good acidity. The wine grabs hold of your palate unleashing wave after wave of lush fruit, spice, and savory notes in unrelenting layers. The finish is very long, almost seeming to never end with very nice fruit slowly giving way to dark chocolate and then nice meaty elements and earthiness. The extra time in the cellar has been rewarded in this case. There is no hurry on this one, it should hold for at least a few more years.
