Community Tasting Note

90 Points
Tuesday, August 21, 2018 - 2nd of 4 bottles. Consumed last one over 4 years ago, but the tasting note is similar.
95% Merlot and 5% Cab Franc.
Obviously Bordeaux, more earth than fruit on the nose and palate. Notes of tar, tobacco leaf, moist soil, black cherry pit, and bitter mocha.
The tannins are still pretty tight, with nicely balanced acidity...but the palate never quite opens up fully to give up the fruit.
We will see what more time causes, as this bottle can be enjoyed now through 2026+.
