Community Tasting Note

• solana wrote: 92 points

  December 9, 2014 - After reading the previous notes I was concerned this might be fading and initial impressions agreed with the previous notes. However all this wine needs is some air. After an hour in the decanter it was singing, after 2 hours it had unwound and the acidity was framing the deep flavors of cassis and dark berry, tobacco and black olives with a definite undertone of loamy earth. Very long with all the flavors interweaving and fading away together after a good minute. Certainly a style more akin to a ripe vintage Bordeaux than the cabs from Napa today, but has more fruit than most 24 year old Bordeaux. Best of both worlds.
