Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 27, 2013 - Decanted this wine for about 2 hours, and it still needed time. This wine was smooth, yet gained in tannins as it opened up.

Nose: Blackberry, Cassis and some chocolate. Nose was somewhat muted. Palate: Very silky and caressing texture. Enters with nice black fruit, then shows cherry, sassafras, bitter chocolate and some mint in the midpalate. Finish: Quite long and the tannis actually build as it opens.

This needs time, but is exceptional now. I think that the nose needs some time to gain its perfume that this wine had as a youngster.
