Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 15, 2013 - Dinner at Chez Walker avec Lauren/Colin/Wendy/Simon/Andrea/Dave/Isobel/Jeroen: This was the main event for the evening - needed something to pair with a cassoulet with a mix of sausages and spice. Still early on this wine (per Parker) but thought it was up to the task...Foley wines age very well but also (in my experience) can be accessible young

Decanted 3 bottles for 3+ hours - definitely recommend - was tight out of the bottle, needs some air time to really show.

Color is a deep/inky purple. Off the charts in richness as well as a full bodied style. Dark fruits, blackberry, licorice, meats, coffee, pepper, sweet spices, vanilla oak (mid palate). Tannins sweet and integrated(ing).

Concentrated, mouth coating texture - a real "purple teeth" effect from this wine. This is still very young but drink beautifully right now. A great pairing in Fall/Winter for any grilled meats, stews or braised meats. WOTN for this crew
