Community Tasting Notes 20

  December 3, 2011 - PnP. Firm, dark, ample almost syrah-like fruit that has a little brambly spice. Still with tannins and etoh. Opened midweek with pasta, and it performed okay in this context. Not recommended for lighter fair.

  March 26, 2011 - Wonderful nose on opening, but soon thereafter there was nothing. Drink these up!

  August 26, 2010 - Opened with trepidation, but this did quite well. PnP. Aromas of brambly cherries, asian and baking spices which were all quite forward and gave a sense of richness. On palate it had medium plus intensity fruit and spice that filled the mouth, but it was a little disjointed with heat protruding and lacking acid/mineral of interest. The fruit character and spice make this appealing and give it a chance at developing some further interest with age.

  August 13, 2010 - Popped and poured. Drink soon as the fruit was fading on this well stored bottle. Lots of alcohol with a little spicy fruit underneath. Very disappointed.

  May 7, 2010 - The nose is definitely the high point for this wine; beatiful blend of dark berries and cola; finish is heavy/hot and no where near as pleasing; agreed that there is still life in this wine, but not one of my favorite Siduri '03 efforts
