Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 9, 2012 - Resolved, silky, suave, pretty. Still got some good color. The nose is lovely with rose petals, sweet black tea, some baking spices, sweet-n-sour black cherry. The palate puts on some weight with air, there's some serious tongue-coating glyercine to go along with terrific zesty acidity. Mouthfilling weight, and a long tangy finish with some drying tannins. Very nice and enjoyable, if a bit one dimensional. This is drinking well, but will easily go another 5 years, maybe even more, though I doubt it will get more profound than it is today. 92-93 pts. UPDATE: the fruit started to fade even in the closed bottle after it had been open 3 hours or so, so it may need drinking sooner than I thought.
