Community Tasting Note

• Merky_Waters Likes this wine: 91 points

  July 22, 2016 - Wow. Wish i had more of this. Purchased this one bottle 2 years ago.
  
  Amazing nose on opening. black cherry, fresh currants, menthol, violet, and ashy minerals.
  
  After an hour, drinking nicely. full body, integrated acid. Oak is present but not obtrusive. Tannins still young and dominate the second half but lovely fruit and nuanced flavors upfront.
  creamy black and blue fruit lifted by plummy acidity followed by sweet oak and brown sugar. Savory and bitter green herb notes are amplified by the tannins, making the palate fall short of the gorgeous nose.
  
  all things considered this is a tremendous value and worth double the $25-30USD asking price. Wish i bought more 2010s

  cheers, chatters
