Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 17, 2005 - Vibrant med dk ruby color. Nose-notes of intense ripe dk cherry, layers of soft sweet oak, backdrop of soft earth when inhaling deeply, some sharpness but probably due to alcohol content.
On palate-intense ripe dk cherries, silky fee, moderate attack of well integrated tannins, soft acid, soft cedar, quite well balanced at this point for 01 CS, overall good degree of complexity which should allow the wine to improve over time, good structure, my guess is the wine should drink well at least 4-6 years, maybe longer. Finish-smooth, lingering, at least 35-40sec

I even left in my glass for 3h and the wine had opened up even more in the glass with more fruit and softer alcohol on the nose, more balanced feel on the palate.
