Community Tasting Note

  July 10, 2014 - Deep and dark color with a shy nose that slowly reveals black fruit along with some tobacco and mineral elements. It's similiar in the mouth initially and a bit closed. After 2 hours of slow ox'd it really opens up to show additional layers of flavor and supporting tannins that add a touch of richness and a firm mouthfeel. This is another top vintage for DP where it shows the wonderful balance they seem to hit each year but a touch more in verve and the overall package. Very good today and expect it to be excellent in another 2 years or so. Drink now with several hours of air or hold.
