Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 15, 2011 - Figured it was time to pop the first bottle out of the case and see where this was at.

Opened and left in bottle at cellar temp for an hour. Double decanted and then recorked for 2 hours. Decent amount of sediment at this stage.

Tannins there but pretty subdued. Dark rich color with little to no bricking. Leather and black cherry on the nose. Leather, black cherry, damp earth, dark chocolate, pepper on the palate. Respectable finish. Pretty good stuff. Lacks the depth and vibrancy to make it really great.

Not sure if I would jump on this one at today's prices. That said, I wish I had bought more of the middle of the pack 2000s when they first came out.

Drinkable now and should hold for the next 5+ years
