Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 96% Zin, 4% PS...14.2% alcohol...allowed to decant for around 2 hours...at this point, I get a fair amount of vanilla and oak on the nose, toasty, blackberries, black pepper...when I first read the alcohol % I was excited, but the alcohol shows through on the nose in a pretty intimidating way, even at my 53 ish cellar degrees...full-bodied, medium tannin, not a lot of supporting acid, fleshy, flashy, sweet - not over the top, but not really that impressive. Will try one next summer with BBQ, don't see the need for this to lay down IMO.
