Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 21, 2010 - This bottle was great looking to my eye with a tattered label from moist storage, heavily oxidized capsule, and a bottom neck fill. In the glass it showed a medium deep red center with oranging rims. The medium intensity nose showed thyme, mocha, wet gravel, forest floor, and a touch of candle wax.

The flavors in the mouth echoed the nose. It was very refined and balanced but also firm with very round tannin. This bottle was silky but reasonably rich and drinking extremely well now.

Given that this bottle was in excellent shape, it appears there is no reason to hold other bottles for the future.
