Community Tasting Note

Kipper38 Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 27, 2014 - Decanted 45 minutes before pouring. Beautiful deep garnet coloration with less brick edging than expected for this age. More deep purple coloration than expected.
Somewhat sweet, floral aroma with cedar and cassis notes. Not as prominent or as complex as I expected, but not disappointing.
On the palate, instant tobacco and cassis overtones, with cedar undertones while still remaining balanced on the tongue. Fruit was mouth filling but not overpowering. Decent length- 30 seconds + Acidity was perfect- zero hints of flabbiness.
Overall, a well balanced wine begging one to take larger sips than decorum demands. I'd love to open a magnum of this wine.
To be safe I'll drink my two remaining bottles by 2017- I wouldn't wish to risk any more acidity reduction- it's drinking beautifully right now.
