Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - Ruby red in appearance. Lovely aromatics of sweet red fruit. At first this was all mid-weight cherries and raspberries with hints of milk chocolate around the edges. As time went on this put on some weight and stiffened up giving the mid-palate a bit more heft and infused it with graphite edges to the fairly firm, if still not especially concentrated mid-palate. Tannins are present toward the back end. Everything about this wine has a stately sort of grand cru character to it and to say the least it is very well made however the concentration/depth/complexity aspect of the wine is off a notch. All that being said this is a very good wine that will hold for several more years while not necessarily improving greatly. For those expecting to be thrilled, this won't do it but it is a very nice wine if one's expectations aren't through the roof.
