Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 12, 2017 - Deep, dark reddish-purple garnet in color with very slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & dark currants with classic cigar box overtones of cedar & tobacco, leather, some floral & herbal notes, loam, earthy/dusty, coffee grounds & dark cocoa, minerals, spices & a slight hint of mint in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush & seamless, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with cocoa, herbs, minerals, earthy, spices &, toasty oak in the background. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but even at 20 years of age, it should continue with its present plateau of development for several years longer if cellared properly although any further development may be minimal. The cork was crumbly upon opening but fill was mid-neck.
