Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 29, 2007 - Another night with old friends... (New York City): With this vintage we really change gears into a mature wine with it's gloriously open nose redolent of coffee, dark tobacco, and very ripe dark fruits turning smokier and earthy through the meal before adding an intriguing and unusual spicy note of black olive. Relatively resolved in the mouth with spicy red fruits rounded out with just a tone of musk all complimented well with typical anise and tar notes. The finish here is very long and reveals great cherry fruit which creeps back on to the palate with time. Texturally the palate is starting to show signs of loosing integrity, the tannins popping a bit out of the seamless integration with the fruit and the acidity lingering exposed on the back end though supporting wonderfully complex finale fo rhubarb and pomegranite seeds. A lovely wine open, giving, and at peak though not the best of this particular bottling.
