Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 9, 2006 - A magnificent dessert wine tasted over several nights. My notes are consistent with a friend’s. The perhaps perfect nose is incredibly complex, with primary notes of black cherry, raisined fruits, and burnt caramel, accompanying secondary and tertiary notes of anise, flowers, charcoal, pumice, and who knows what else. The palate of great balanced acidity begins with similar black cherry and fig flavors before moving to raisins. The only noticeable flaw is the almost cloying finish, which is all but completely subdued when matched with chocolates or other sweet desserts. Nevertheless, the finish lasts for nearly a full minute. Overall, this wine comes highly recommended, and who knows what complexity years aging will bring? AMAZING.
