Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 3, 2012 - Initially a bit funky and animal, we gave the wine two hours in the decanter. The air made a lot of difference. Now it's dominated by fruit - developing aromas of ripe black plums and blackberries, dark chocolate and sweet spice. On the palate full and sturdy with high concentration of fruit, big ripe tannins, melting dark chocolate oak and some mentholated freshness. Still quite young, but definitely ready to go after aeration, this 04 now tastes like $50 and seems set to cruise and develop further for at least another ten. Excellent with prime rib and bearnaise. We're happy to have a case left.
