Community Tasting Notes 9

  October 25, 2015 - I think this bottle was from another source and not the cooked sixer. Decanted over 4 hours and followed along the way.
  
  Sweet cigar ash menthol, pine red fruit nose. Palate showed primary red somewhat set fruit with some imbalance in alcohol. Moderate tannin. Confectionary plum peeking periodically. Finished medium length with some alcohol, a little VA, and piney purple fruit. Pleasant. Nose was its best feature.
  
  At least it wasn't cooked. Went well with a beef stew tonight.

  May 29, 2012 - Started out great but after a few hours the wood dominated and overpowered the fruit

  April 24, 2011 - First bottle in a sealed case. Fruit was stewed, hot and disjointed.

  November 11, 2009 - Very impresive wine, bottle opened 2 hours before tasting. A litte taste of wood, old red fruits and good presence of tannin.
  It's a real Cabernet Franc with french wine making, but produced in Argentina...impossible to discover during a blindtest.
