Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 10, 2008 - Very dark ruby, about 95% saturated, slight fade at rim. Mild, varietally-correct nose of blackcurrant and dark berries, along with a small American oak profile. Surprised to only get a slight alcohol presence in the aroma - I expected it to scream. It shows more on the palate, though. Usual Shiraz flavor with vanilla, pepper, cherry, etc but it's all a little subdued and the tannins are confused. Low, flabby acidity, medium body. Certainly no extracted bomb and it has a nice long finish. Just seems to be missing a little oomph and it fell apart quickly. Pretty bottle, though (4+9+12+6) = 81
