Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 2, 2010 - Decanted for one hour prior to tasting. Black. Terrific bouquet, little bit of (unexpected) wet fur funk in the nose on this bottle. At one hour, the wine was found to be firm, without giving much in the fruit department. The balance/acidity was wonderful, however, and it delivered mouthwatering mineral flavors, sweet spices and slick, fine tannins. I layed off the wine for another hour, during which my wife proclaimed it was a delicious wine and knocked down two glasses. In the second hour, the wine was a bit more open, but still tight. Some delicious fruit shone through and promised great things. Over two more hours, it just held together and got better and better. I think this will go longer than 2016.
