Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 6, 2012 - Pop-and-pour, drank over two nights.

Night one this was overly sweet and out of balance. Deep chocolate and dark fruit on the nose, following through on the palate. Too much oak spice.

Saved half the bottle for the second night, where it turned into something much better. The sweetness receded, leaving very ripe dark fruit that didn't overwhelm the structure of the wine. Medium tannins, much receded oak. Much more balanced and delicious.

If you pop this now, give it lots of air. Seems like it'll do well in a few years.
