Friday, March 2, 2012 - Weeknight Tasting in Wellesley (Andrew's House): Decanted for one hour, followed over the next five hours. A little less concentrated than the previous 2 wines, this had a nose of dark fruits, black currants, huge white pepper notes, with a touch of cedar, lemon zest and mild floral undertones. On the palate, not incredibly complex, showing dark fruits, white pepper and citrus. Reasonable balance here, with significantly less tannin than I was expecting. The acidic structure is quite large and dominates the finish in the mouth. Unlike the last 2 wines, this is much less concentrated an leaner on the palate. Much more refreshing, and is quite easy to drink. I have one bottle of this left and I would like to wait another 5 years or so before I open the next one.
