Community Tasting Notes 4

  February 21, 2010 - This wine is still alive for sure. Had at dinner last night. Still very alive. Wouldn't be surprised if that wine could go another 5 years. (Maybe more, but always wary of telling folks to wait too long on older wines.) It even still seemed a little "green" so to speak. Not in a bad way. Just like it was young. It started singing pretty much right out of the bottle, but after about an hour and a half of being open, it was just humming. So delicious. Dark fruit on both the nose and the palate. Would not describe this wine as light and ethereal. It had weight. And a cool complexity underneath. Red hills earth with some spice. And most importantly, it was clean and in balance.
