Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 26, 2012 - Opened my last magnum at Christmas. Not decanted but opened an hour before dinner. Still a big, muscular and burly wine. A little more rounded than the last time I had it. Think this wine still has a few more years before it starts declining. 90-91 points.

  January 11, 2010 - Closed on opening but promising with a touch of funk. Decanted for an hour, and it was very nice. I don't think this will ever be profound, but it's showing maturity and has that rustic, iron-infused Mourvedre character along with a more modern touch of oak. The texture is at a good place now. All in all very nice and worth checking on in another year or so.

  December 15, 2008 - Good. Wish I had decanted as it was shy at first and half the bottle was unimpressive. It starting playing well in the 2nd half though. The texture is there, but I think there's still some flavor development to come.
