Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 13, 2009 - This blossomed into a very nice bottle of wine for Easter after 1.5 to 2 hours before dinner and about 1 hour into dinner. For Sue, a bit too much barnyard, but I of course enjoyed that. This wine is in a good spot, if you like this sort of wine, and I don't expect it to get better with time, but not declining either. This was PLCB so always a risk that this compromised its longevity, but I was very happy and drank far too much. Not a lot of fruit or ripeness on the nose and this is before Magrez ramped things up. I thought it was plenty ripe and the tannins nicely resolved and still a fairly dark ruby in color.
