Community Tasting Notes 2

November 3, 2012 - From a nice looking bottle, this wine had a red/purple center and some ornaging at the rim. The nose featured black cherries, brown spices, almonds, anise, and soil.
This was quite ripe and rich but rather montoned at first. It was quite well made and well balanced. It needed 3+ hours of air to start showing its attributes, such as sneaky, rounded tannin. While this may never be a great, this is an attractive wine that drinks well now and should improve by a point or two over the next decade. -
