Community Tasting Note

  • burr Likes this wine: 92 points

    October 14, 2014 - Brooding, sultry wine. Expressive nose of cedar, licorice, mushroom, damp earth, dark black fruit. Silky, bitter tannins, soft yet still with grip. On the palate medium to light body, with black fruit, more wet earth. This wine has gone through several phases, fairly primary when first openend, about 2 hours after opening it went through a dumb phase, and then about 3 hours in, it became extremely expressive, adding black cherry and woody flavors. A couple times the palate had a distinct metallic note to it, but it came and went. Overall, a very interesting wine, a great one to ponder slowly, over several hours.
