Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 17, 2008 - This wine is very young and very tight. It boasts a clear, ruby color and a sour cherry nose with great verve. The palate is bracing with acidity and while there is some red fruit huddled underneath – at present it is a bit unforgiving in its tartness. I have put the bottle in the fridge and report back progress in a few days. Will most likely save the others for a few years. (85+?)

Day 2: What a difference a day makes. Pure, sappy strawberry fruit is at the fore with a pine note supporting. Lovely depth and a medium body continue to be lifted by the sound acidity which has moved to a supporting rather than dominating role. A good 4 to 5 points higher than last nights showing….good news for what this will become in a few years. Insane QPR. (89+)
