Community Tasting Notes 10

  May 27, 2010 - Dark garnet red color - very attractive. Leather, rare steak, and overripe black fruits on the nose. Notes of overripe plums and blackberries, at brief moments almost cloyingly sweet, with rare steak juices. Plenty of barnyard with hints of tar and coffee dregs. The finish lasts a good 30+ seconds and showcases the rare steak juice and overripe black fruits on a creme de cassis background. My best (and fairly uncertain) guess is that this will drink much smoother in about 6-8 years but will probably also be much less interesting.

  April 4, 2010 - Black fruits on the nose. Strong coffee notes with cassis dominant on the end palate and finish.

  November 7, 2009 - Corked and or oxidized, definitely past its prime. Shop replaced with a 2005.

  August 16, 2009 - Same flavors present here as mentioned in the earlier reivew, but to my taste, the result of a bit too much time between bottle and glass. Still, quite a complicated, interesting raisined wine, but don't keep it much longer before drinking. Wish that I'd tried it in 2007.
