Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 4, 2009 - earthy, musty smell. Easy quaffing. Very light and simple. Nice though. Some of the reviews said the fruit has faded, maybe so, but not a bad wine to drink very casually. Hints of blakcberry and black cherry.

  August 27, 2009 - Fruit has faded away but I found this a bit earthy with delicate aromas and some leather. Still interesting.

  March 1, 2009 - Final bottle. 2003 was like the credit crunch in that most critics predicted greatness, but instead the wheels came off. Really ugly on opening - disparate, loose and simple - it came together somewhat after an hour of aggressive decanting to make decent drinking. Root beer, cherry jam and, towards end, a little suggestion of the red flowers on its label. Residual tannin suggests could survive 2-3 years; but I'd always recommend decanting. From 83... to 86-87, 86.

  January 20, 2009 - A little past its prime. Strawberries dominate the nose. Short finish.

  December 17, 2007 - Medium body, bright tart fruit. Would be great with turkey or by itself when you want an lighter red wine. Would buy again in half a heartbeat and keep on stock. A lot of enjoyment for the $. Better when served with a little chill.
