Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - Really an overachieving wine. Color was a medium cherry-pink red with a slight orange undertone. Nose was a spicy, earthy red fruit array. We opened--but did not decant--the bottle an hour before a dinner featuring rosemary chops followed by a Bucheron cheese. Since Dawn spent the weekend (on a family visit) traipsing in the Burgundy minefield, taking shots for the team (a corked '01 followed by a completely shut down '05), I'll go with her note: a 3-d wine that is all sunshine and spice on the attack with a silky, earthy finish that goes on and on. In between the fruits bounce off the roof of your mouth in layers of flavor. Elegant.

Hard to add to that, but I will note that it also features a pleasant, medium body nicely supported by tart, yet pliant acids and that the tanninic backbone is fully integrated. Drinking well now.
