Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 16, 2010 - A 3.0 L that was poured at a very special dinner with friends. The wine was decanted about 6 hours before serving. The nose was a delight - floral, very mild hint of coffee, delicate, hinting of the wonderous wine to come. Upon tasting, the wine revealed a wonderous balance of red berries, cherry, currant. I picked up very delicate undertones of graphite, a hint of terroir. There is mild acidity, but the 12+ years of aging have sucessfully relaxed the tannins resulting in a beauriful silky palate. The wine is a consumate expression of why 1997 is heralded.
