Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Monday, May 31, 2010 - This wine is in a great place. Fully integrated sweet tannins with a massive backbone that holds up in the mid and back palate. Upon entry, blasted with the grenache profile for cherries and a touch of forest floor. The finish was aminute long. For my tastes, these wines start to sing after the 10 year period.
