Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 1, 2011 - The color is bright, medium ruby rim with garnet hues. Deepish ruby core with a garnet tint. Thick tears.

The nose is quite intense and developed with dominant aromas of plum and dark cheries, then complex notes of apricot, vanilla and clove.

The palate is dry, with some sweetness from the alcohol. Medium-plus acidity, high alcohol, and a fairly high level of silky tannins. Silky mouthfeel, with a clearly salty note. Intense flavours of plum and dark cherries, dried fruit and notes of clove. Long and complex.

An outstanding wine that is quite elegant, long, intensive and very complex. Ready to drink, the fruit is declining. But it wil develop further spicy complexity for another 5 years.
