Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 8, 2008 - Karl Lawrence Vertical (wally's house, barrington IL): nose: really big and jammy with a good amount of oak and vanilla with big ripe cherry tones too. This is over the top and extracted and the nose isn't really doing it for me. This is the kind of nose that bothers me a bit with new world wines

taste: while fruity and upfront, this isn't anywhere near as jammy or extracted as the nose and gives me hope that this turns into some of the older ones. It posseses flavors of dark cherry, cranberry, raspberry, vanilla extract, and toasted oak

overall: ripe and very bold. This is bordering on over the top but its the palate feel and flavors that do more for me then the overtly ripe and jammy nose.
