Community Tasting Notes 4

  August 24, 2008 - Strong aroma, my wife could smell the open bottle across the room.
  Dark fruits, plum, cherry for the nose. A wonderful nose.
  The color was a deep red but not thick. translucent. The color was very close to stable from the interior to the rim.
  The taste was thinner but still there.
  Some cherry, a little grass, some dark fruits. All the flavor is in the nose.
  Supple tannins which probably won't improve any further.
  
  This is a good wine that has been properly cellared and is peaked, it would be unfair to add a numerical rating at this point. It is still enjoyable, the tannins will hold it through a plate of spaghetti or similar.
  Drink this now.

  March 25, 2008 - Very thin taste, no nose to be found; became almost undrinkable after 24 hours. For $20, a very poor deal.

  March 22, 2008 - Tried it with a porterhouse steak, very good. Soft tanins, fruity, cherry flavors. Could drink alone also.

  September 15, 2007 - there's also some cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot in this. fermentation and maceration in stainless steel, aged 6-8 months in 2nd/3rd-use french oak barrels. 13.%% alc. i liked this. soft tannins, medium acidity with some plummy, cherry notes.
