Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 1, 2015 - Dark, structured, and still brooding, with tar, iodine, iron, and a little menthol. This is more about potential now, overall coming across broad shouldered and deep with more soil and savory than fruit. There are no signs of overripeness, and blind I would never guess this was an 03. Very long and dense without any flab. Tightly coiled at this point still, with fine gripping tannins. It's youthfully powerful and less approachable than the Vigna Rionda tried along side it. That said, there is a freshness and balanced acidity with a sternness that I suspect will develop into something special. Everything seems in balance, it's just not yet developed. More impressive than enjoyable now, but that will switch in time. 91+
