Community Tasting Notes 5

  December 18, 2016 - Wonderful wine, but needs plenty of time to open. By that I mean, open it...let it sit a few hours....cork it.....drink it the following day. Seriously.
  
  50% Merlot
  50% Cab Franc
  
  Tasting notes on first open: Tight, sour and undeveloped. Really makes you question the blend. Tart and smacks of unripe blackberry.
  
  Taste after waiting: Bam, there it is. The pipe tobacco subtleness, with blue plum and blueberry. Flavor profile has fully developed. Wonderful.
  Really it's shocking to wait on this wine. Makes me want to age the remaining six I have left.

  April 11, 2014 - Wonderful! Has come a long way since last tasted in 2012. Deep, saturated red color. Plum and red fruit. Silky, smooth, light. Nearly tanninless, a bit of nice acidity.

  March 9, 2014 - Opaque garnet color. Notes of black current, blackberry, molasses, and leather. Too big with not enough complexity to balance it.

  November 14, 2012 - This wine is very young. Decent QPR at under $20, but I can't justify the space right now and it needs at least a few years in the cellar. Just too hopped up and disjointed right now.
