Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 9, 2016 - Discovered on a retail shelf a week ago so no expectations. Popped and poured to accompany roast chicken. Medium ruby color. Full nose conveying fresh scents of red berry, plum, musk, violets, black tea, earth. Initially lacy frame complicated by buoyant, unexpectedly wide-open flavors of tart black cherry, anise, mulberry, leather, and underbrush on the palate. Bracing acidity and smoothed tannins leading to a longer finish of rolling red fruit, iron filings, and grip. Super showing, very satisfying. This 2000 vintage continues to provide some delightful wines.
