Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 19, 2014 - Decanted for 3+ hours.
Dark ruby color, almost opaque through the core. Showing medium plus concentration with high viscosity that leaves dark red stained, fat legs falling slowly down the glass.
Blackberry, plum and huckleberry fruit aromas up front, highlighted by vanilla, caramel and chocolate ganache with ancillary notes of spice, toast, cassis, violets, graphite, herbs and cedar.
On the full bodied palate flavors are exact and graceful leading with blackberry, juicy plum, vanilla, cedar, dark cherry, currants, pencil shavings, toffee and espresso with notes of baking chocolate, violets, spice and herbs. Structured with medium-plus acid and medium-plus/high fine grained tannins. The mid-palate carries density and the finish is medium plus in both length and intensity lingering on blackberry, and toasty oak notes.

Overall an impressive wine from an excellent vintage. Precise
