Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 22, 2012 - Because it comes from the same winery and the same vineyard block, of course there is a lot in common with the 2008 version. However, this wine is distinct from its younger sibling.

Nose still has the dried strawberry and earthy qualities, but it is much more herbal. Flavor is richer, with cherry melding with earth and some blackberry. Doesn't have everything the 2008 had, so it starts to disintegrate and fall off towards the back of the mouth. Finish is similarly long, but hotter with perceptible, but not unpleasant, alcohol.
