Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Sunday, January 22, 2012 - Decanted for about 2 hours. Bricky ruby. Persistent nose of currant, cassis, forest floor, blackberry, and a hint of cedar. Smoothly textured layers of mulberry, red currant, moca, and tobacco on the palate, building slowly with air to yield a satisfying degree of concentration and sweet grip. Tannins serious but beginning to smooth off. Low-to-moderate acidity. Long, feathery finish with echoes of earth and red fruit. Not a blockbuster, but a class act perhaps in the middle of its drinking window.
