Community Tasting Note

  April 1, 2016 - Raspberry, cinnamon and a stemmy quality on the nose. A bit above medium bodied and dominated by cinnamon, spice and fruit. As a prior reviewer noted, nothing feminine or subtle about this wine. Raspberry and spice upfront but after being open for 3+ hours, the back and the finish started to smooth out and integrate nicely. This is a big wine that I probably opened a year or so too soon. Was probably more fruit-forward in it's youth and is only now beginning to soften and smooth out - showing some nuances. Given the fruit and structure, I would think this wine integrates and smooths over the next few years rather than fades. Depends on your style preference, but I would hold a bit longer.
