Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 27, 2011 - Had a bottle with a veal chop at Rosewater Supper Club. On opening there was initially no nose whatsoever. Ruby red, just a hint of brick. After a few minutes it started to open and we had a delightful experience as this wine evolved over the night. On the nose initially, cooked beets (borscht almost) then red fruits and violets. The on the palate in sequence as the wine opened up: beets; violets; mushrooms, chocolate and forest floor; red fruits; and then dried cherries. The still-clear dregs at the end showed tannins then clean minerals. Quite a journey! I suspect a low acid level because the wine had almost a creamy mouthfeel, and yet it stayed fresh. Pretty darn good for a Fixin.
