Friday, October 10, 2008 - Tasting with TheDumbPhase: Tasted blind:
med+ ruby in the glass.
Nose: mellow oak, warm climate dark fruit.
Palate: med+/full body. med- acid. Sticky tannins. Flutter of pyrazines. Fruit falls off relatively quickly.
My guess: Spanish blend with maybe some cab/cab franc. (don't know why I went with Spain - probably just the oak on the nose and palate).
Joe's guess: California cabernet, ~$30's, Napa. (acid and tannins too low for spain).
After a bit of time in the decanter, the tannins seemed bigger.

rp92+, st 90
