Community Tasting Note

monahanchris Likes this wine:

Wednesday, May 21, 2014 - PnP over 2-3 hours.
This was a steal at $20. Probably close to the edge in terms of age, but showed so well.

Slight browning/bricking.

Closed nose at first with a strong menthol note - not promising - but it evolved quickly to reveal clove, tomato, basil, black fruit, cedar, and smoke/bacon.

Tasted of some red fruit and more smoked pork, but those were complemented by secondary flavors of leather, cedar, and pepper.

Acid medium and fully resolved tannin led to a medium-long finish.

Glad I have another.
