Community Tasting Note

  August 24, 2014 - Very lifted with cassis, red apples and pomegranate, but also toasty oak, spices and unami. The aromas suggest a wine that is open. On palate this is much tighter: an acidic backbone gives focus and structure to the wine but it needs integration. While the aromas suggest an unfurling of layers, the taste is more uni-dimensional. As the wine opens further, the toasty oak is quite dominant. This was true on the second day too. Whether the oak will integrate remains to be seen. This falls in the category of not open for business. It also shows the tightness of the acidity that I have found in other 2006s. Again, I realise that this wine usually requires long-time celaring. Others on cellartracker seem to have the wine more integrated than we did.
