Community Tasting Note

  June 4, 2005 - Dinner at Crow (Seattle, WA): Perhaps I am being overly harsh since I brought this wine to dinner. The nose opens with obvious notes of vanilla and cherry, but this quickly moves to show a very green and vegetal note of asparagus. The nose does integrate with time with the green receding more to spicy and leafy aromatics. With more air this moves to green tobacco with nice notes of graphite and a hint of char. Excellent improvement. However, this was still very green and stemmy on the palate throughout the three hour dinner. The fruit is mostly cherry, a bit simple, candied, vanilla, very green. I am not happy with this wine, as it should be a LOT better.
