Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 21, 2013 - Drank from magnum and of the group he tried it, I believe I may have been the real dissenter. I thought this aromatically came off a bit fumey, volatile. The fruit tasted to me darker in tone, what I called black raspberry and balck cherry hard candy. The color was quite dark too. If this had been poured blind, I would have not think to attribute the wine to Joe. Maybe a day of air would have changed the tone of the wine, although that dark color, I have to think that this wine is simply more rich and while not the 2004, it's not what I think of as Arcadian.

I'm going to have the chance soon to taste a # of Arcadian wines and given my palate now, I have an expectation that I will enjoy the wines and be able to form a good opinion. This 2001, knowing what I do about Joe's style, doesn't seem Joe to me.
