Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Thursday, September 15, 2016 - Deep dark reddish-purple in color; still almost opaque with just ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Forward, attractive & fragrant nose of still evolving yet complex ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, plums & figs with overtones of classic cigar box notes of cedar & tobacco, some floral notes of violets, earthy/dusty, tea, leather, herbal notes of eucalyptus & sage, spice notes of pepper, anise & allspice, truffles & a hint of dark cocoa in the background. Full bodied with very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, deep, lush & complex, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, plums & cassis with earthy, herbs, spices, dark cocoa, mushrooms, minerals & a touch of vanilla in the background. Long, lingering finish. Drinks well with decanting & extended airing but has the fruit & structure to continue development for many years to come at which time it will easily be a 100 point wine. Incredibly concentrated Bordeaux delivering layer upon layer; possibly one of the best Moutons!
