Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 24, 2011 - Aerate to decanter, and per previous experience, let sit for five hours before T-day dinner. Experience very similar to my note of July 4, although the bouquet was more expressive than before with dark sweet cherries, strawberries, and cola. Dark rich fruit with cola and spice on the palate almost veers away from pinot land. Excellent flavors, but there is not a lot of depth, and the acid seems low. As before I'm noticing alcohol in the fairly short finish. This stood more on its own rather than pairing well with the various traditional fixings of Thanksgiving. Squarely B+ and suffered in comparison to the '05 Puig Parahy 1878 Carinyana consumed at the same time. No regrets at 20, but one bottle left and it will be gone by the new year, which is fine with me.
