Community Tasting Note

  April 28, 2008 - Similar to June '07 note, but more rich and integrated. Nice cherry, cola notes on the palate. Still just a hint of sharpness/astringency on the finish, but this is gone after the bottle has been open for a couple of hours. I mistakenly left a glass on the counter for an hour or two and revisited. The fruit takes a big dive, replaced by a sweet cedar that is not altogether unpleasant. Nevertheless, this is probably drinking at its peak over the next 12 or so months. All in all, a more well-behaved cousin to some of the '04 and '05 low-end burgs I've been opening recently. Quite educational the evolution of this one over the last couple of years.
