Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 26, 2006 - decanted and consumed over 3 hours. initially quite tight, and i thought i made a mistake opening this. it turned fairly quickly, however, and ended up being very popular, especially among the younger guys (30ish) with undeveloped palates. i say that because these are wine drinkers still interested in being hit by an anvil, rather than sip a wine of great nuance. not that there's anything wrong with that. this wine delivered a very powerful, yet expressive drinking experience. the fruit envelops the tannin rather than the other way around, so i liked it, too; just not as much as most. you could certainly hold this wine in this format for 10 more years. no doubt a little softer tannin will punch this up.
