Community Tasting Notes 8

  March 19, 2016 - An opaque dark purple in the glass. The nose is redolent of blackberries and blackcurrants and a hint of smoke. The merlot component emerges on the palate with red fruits and cooking spices. In the glass the wine continues to evolve, developing savory and herbal components over a couple of hours. Medium bodied, concentrated but not lush. Nicely structured with enough acid and tannins to cut through an unctuous braised short rib. A well made food wine.

  May 24, 2014 - Great for the first hour or two, but between three and four it started falling apart into a funky, vegetal soup. But while it lasted, this was classic Right Bank, with enough structure left to be interesting.

  December 31, 2012 - Closed at first. Aerated with venturi. Nose of woods, leather, tobabcco. Slightly vegetal. Fruity notes developed in the glass after an hour. Nice finish.

  August 22, 2010 - More like a Pomerol, this has a very dark red-purple color, strong bouquet of cherry and cedar, followed by concentrated fruit but excellent structure and balance, with a long finish. A great find at this price.
