Community Tasting Note

ElAzul Likes this wine:

Monday, October 31, 2016 - I was surprised to see no prior reviews on this wine, so here goes. Cork in very good condition, came out easily with standard screwdriver. Ruby garnet color, no bricking visible. On the nose notes of cedar and reminded me of some old Bordeaux wines. First tastes were a bit disappointing with restrained fruit and a very slight hint of a green pepper on the finish. But with decanting and breathing the wine opened up very nicely after about three hours and peaked about four hours after opening. Lots of black fruits, tannins softened substantially with time and a very nice 5-10 second finish on the front palate emerged. I had to down rate it a bit because it took so long before giving pleasure but maybe that was because it was too young. I only bought one, which was a whim purchase just because it was in our anniversary year, so will have to wait for another cellar tracker reviewer to see if this wine evolved over time.
