Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 2, 2012 - Second Annual Butcher&Larder dinner (Butcher&Larder, Chicago IL): nose: a bit tight and unyielding at first, but when it opened up absolutely gorgeous tones of dark red fruits, tar, roasted herbs, various floral tones, roses and bits of violets meld together in perfect harmony.

taste: This was extremely pretty with a silky medium/full body and medium/high acidity. The tannins are still quite there and showing that this wine has youth along with regal tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, roasted herbs, roses and some other various floral tones.

overall: Once this opened up it was like the beginning of a symphony. This wine has the ability to be completely etheral with even more time. I had given this 3 hours in the decanter and it still took another 90 minutes to really sing.
