Community Tasting Note

CarpeVinoDiem Likes this wine:

Friday, January 4, 2013 - Perfect provenance (PWSF; auction bottle)
No notes taken.
Decanted 30 mins.
Virtually no sediment (only slight micro).

Cork: Perfect clean painted end flared cork.

Look: Medium orange red with slight brick '03.

Nose taste: Black cherry, spice, musk, lt. alcohol, lt. soap (!), cranberry, rose petal.

Body: 2.5% milk.

Mouth taste: Black cherry, musk, spice, lt. cranberry, lt. vanilla, maple.

BIG BIG tannins on the end.

Drinks like the great Anderson Valley appellation it is, but with some Barbaresco and Amarone mixed in. With the tannic levels, almost like a young Barbaresco.

Finish: 98 seconds!

90/91 pts.

Recommend decant this big hot girl about 3 hrs.

Pair with decent tannic food (Pork roast seared with brown sugar and cooked submerged in Pinot Noir/Valpolicella/Amarone until falling apart.

Showing great now. I would tend to drink up within a couple yrs.
