Community Tasting Note

  May 9, 2008 - Nice soft brick color with decent consistency. Bouquet is soft, with subtle smells of bing cherry, vanilla cream, tobacco, and rotting farm field (maybe truffle). First tastes were a bit flat, but it quickly expended to decent length. I would say the flavors were highly consistent with the bouquet, with a nice minerality/chalk in the finish. The best two words to describe this wine is "reserved elegance." This wine is definitely on the down side of its life (I had this bottle 3-years ago and it was awesome, 93+), but it's still a good bottle of wine. I give it a solid 90.
