Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 24, 2004 - Dark ruby red with noticeable fading around the rim. Pleasant aromas of blackberry, licorice, wood and coffee. Full HUGE body, with massive concentration which truly blew me away. The aromas were reasonable, but wow the taste and feeling this wine offers is outstanding. Wonderful perfect balance, with well-integrated and soft tannins, and very nice acidity. Loads of toasted oak, which are a major part of the wine’s flavor offering. I am normally not a big fan of such levels of oak, but in this case, it was truly very well integrated and really added a lot to the overall feel and structure. Very rich flavors, including fresh meet, pepper, some plums and more (and maybe a touch of chocolate). Huge finish, with a spectacular addicting aftertaste. Overall It is a powerful, complex, and very tasty red wine with loads of personality. I was actually very surprised, as I did not expect to like it so much (was not a big fan of Merlot till now..). A wine I have truly fallen in love with.
