Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 30, 2004 - Consumed with raspberry crepes and homemade vanilla ice cream at the home of Ken Johnson, who provided the bottle. Deep-to-opaque amber, this wine shows an explosive bouquet of caramel, apricot, vanilla and raisins. Full-bodied on the palate, with excellent acidity and a silky mouth texture. The flavors are complex and, in general, mirror the nose. The palate (and aromatic) finish is as long as any wine that I have ever tasted. Indeed, the bouquet in the (dry) glass 30 minutes later was essentially as pronounced as when the glass was full!
