Community Tasting Note

• wineberg Likes this wine: 90 points

  January 11, 2014 - Big, ripe wine. Labeled at 13% ABV, might really be more than that. As big as it is though, the bloomy, cheesy, mushroomy funk aromas come off as definite Burg.
  
  Nose shows cranberry, smokey black cherry, those hints of runny cheese, stemmy greens, and mushrooms of Burg, with a slight nuttiness, but overall pretty straightforward and to the point. Shows some of the aromas I want from a good Burg, but the palate is lacking in complexity and depth.
  
  Tannins really gripping still; think this easily still has a couple decades of life left on it, and will probably improve with more integration of the tannins and development of more secondary flavors. 90+
