Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 26, 2014 - The Wine Nerds do Christmas Dinner (Dave' Place - Kitchener, ON Canada): This was the surprise of the night for me. Excellent showing. A core of very pure ripe (still quite primary) fruit is balanced against a wonderfully rustic earthy note with that pleasant touch of Brett. Quite a contrast to the Smith Haut Lafitte. Nose is of plum, sweet cassis, charcoal, cedar, wet hay, horse stable, mint, truffle and sweet old leather. The palate has just a kiss of low dusty tannin with good acid. There is wonderfully enveloping plush dark plummy fruit that caresses the palate not unlike a great right bank Bordeaux. The finish is medium plus in length carried on a charred plum note.
