Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Wednesday, January 2, 2008 - Wednesdays at Heidi's: Double decanted about two hours before serving. Dark red/black color. The nose is a stern and brooding blend of dark fruit, cedar and mineral. The main thing you notice while tasting is the structure. This is extremly concentrated but compact on the palate. The taste is mainly blue/black fruit with a ton of minerality and some carmel. Great texture, although much rougher than the Cheval Blanc. The finish is tannic, concentrated, and lingering. This is a beautiful wine that needs additional cellar age.
