Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 13, 2012 - put into decanter( a fair amount of mud on the bottom) and small taste poured... really tight... but a ton of promise. This started to unwind within an hour in the decanter so I poured it back into the bottle and began to enjoy. This is my first sample of this wine and I am happily suprised at how forgiving it is compared to everything I had read. Will it improve w/ time , absolutely, if you have a few is it an enjoyable quaff to get a reference point and enjoy a big, tannic full fruited food wine, again absolutely. I was drinking this without food as an warm up for a dinner I did not want to attend but it would have been phenomenal with a big juicy fatty ribsteak.
