Community Tasting Notes 6

  August 5, 2013 - Mahogany garnet appearance, bricking at the rim. Mature, almost cooked aromas of dried cherries, cranberries, leather, must, toast, and tamarind. The palate was crisp and minerally, tart and saucy, but the fruit was worn, with hints of cherries, red berries, and red plums giving way to lime citrus, a touch of spice, and a smack of (volatile?) acidity that lingered through the finish. Past its prime - it tasted older than its age would suggest, but still has redeemable qualities. I liked it for its old wine characteristics.

  August 28, 2010 - A bit over the top in the fruit department. Lots of cherries. Medium to big on the body but the sweetness and fruit overpower the finesse and complexity (if any) of this wine. Shame really.

  January 23, 2009 - Last bottle. this one is seeming a bit flabby. Rich fruit, almost jammy. But needs a bit of acid to balance. Still seems fresh and clean though.
