Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 1, 2013 - ---
COLOR: Deep garnet with medium garnet rim
NOTE: Nose is deep black plum liqueur (the kind the French use when serving a Champagne cocktail), toasted almond (that's new for a cab!), cherry pipe tobacco. Mouth is rich cassis & red raspberry liqueur, 60% dark chocolate bar, hints of ash. Finish is ripe/rich red fruits, tinge of heat, but great concentration of fruit buttressed by the cocoa/espresso combo that intermingles with it. Nice juice, approaching Schrader quality. Just a bit too plum/prune-oriented.
