Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 24, 2010 - Even with decanting 2 hours, in my opinion this wine really isn't ready for drinking yet, despite what some of the CT reviews below say. This wine is probably an 89+ with at least two years in cellar and then some decanting.

Medium ruby colour. Nose showed potential with berries and a fragrant note, maybe lavender. After an hour+ decant some cherry on the palate, hints of raspberry and strawberry and some baking spice. Fine smooth tannins are showing all the signs they will integrate into the finish but still a lot of oak showing up. Good acidity and balance.

The berry flavours really came out with food (trout sashimi, black truffle pasta) but were otherwise reticent to make an appearance at this stage of life.
