Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, October 28, 2014 - Nice wine -- really good if served pop and pour. Cork withdrawn intact with zero bleed. Medium cherry red stain on the cork. Poured a thin red color with a rather expressive floral nose. On the palate was an acidic, medium bodied wine with black cherry and herbs. The wine was very expressive in the middle...black cherry, a little pie spice sweetness. The finish was quite acidic as well, devoid of tannin. After sitting open for a while, the acidity blew off on the finish. Acidity died in 10 seconds or less, as did the wine on the palate. Wine didn't hold too well overnight into the next night, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Either way I expected WAY more concentration and integration on day 2 that was all not there (didn't even finish it due to THC type of expression I was getting). I don't believe this one will hold nearly as long as the 2010 given that the 2010 didn't do this within the next 24 hours. Structure is OK, but will not age well.
