Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 3, 2006 - Wow; the three or four notes here to date make me feel as though I'm vastly overrating this, but those are the breaks, as they say. I find that this is performing incredibly well, especially given that it's barely a baby and costs less than $40. It's explosive on the nose: raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry are all rolled into one, plus there's some cocoa and floral spice to add to the complexity. The palate is more of the same, and though it approaches volatility on the alcohol, that's almost a good thing: we can probably rest assured that it'll chill out after a year or two, and right now it just seems like a sign of admirable ripeness. Exuberant, affordable, and yet comparatively complex: you can't ask for much more. And it'll only get better from here.
