Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 18, 2012 - Purple core with ruby and garnet outer edges. Beautiful color. Plummy nose with black and blue fruits, dried red currants with a whiff of cedar. Excellent and classic.
An elegant style but the fruit had faded a bit too much leaving mostly a tannic structure. Even so,finesse mixed with faded dried fruit flavors linger suggesting
earlier consumption of this bottle would have been wise. Class still shows and it deserves at least a respectfull score, hence the 87. I would not hesitate to try
another bottle and hopefully other tasters have found more stuffing to support the tannins.
