Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 18, 2009 - Birthday dinner wine. Shows a nice red in glass, with minimal signs of aging on the edges. Classic nose of grained cassis, coffee laced pencil lead, menthol/camphor and a hint of underbrush. Swirling agitation yields numerous glyceric legs and reveals secondary aromas of dark fruits and sweet black cherry. You need to swirl this to reveal the sweet fruit aromas. Harmonious balance on an echoing finish, showing cherry, tobacco, green olive on a smooth and polished finale. Minimal tannin, this is all finesse and elegance and is drinking very well. This was one of the first really nice wines I ever bought in the early days of my budding wine experience, so it's a special bottle and fun to reflect on how the past 10 years have unfolded, and how the cellar has grown too!
