Community Tasting Note

  • garambler Likes this wine: 96 points

    April 11, 2015 - I opened this for a Prime Rib dinner with friends on 4/11/15. It had a complex, supple, focused and truly spectacular bouquet of plum, raspberry, mocha, cocoa, toast and spice aromas. The palate was rich, deep, elegant and layered with flavors of plum, black raspberry, black currant, mocha, cocoa, toast and spice.

    Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
