Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 11, 2006 - Wow! I don't remember why I bought this wine -- I think it must have been a retailer recommendation -- but what a nice surprise.
Fantastic first impression. Is this wine really 7 years old? Inky dark. Big body. Vibrant, youthful, even fruity primary nose. It tamed after a half hour or so to show more complexity with tobacco and leather notes added to raspberry syrup. Nice acidity and well-balanced tannins. The one down-side is the wine was starting to fade after about 1 1/2 hours.
