Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 2, 2014 - Touring J's new house (Goodman): Tasted blind. Aired in decanter for about an hour before drinking.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour.
Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with aromas of juicy blackcurrants, stewed plums, some green bell peppers, and massive toasty oak. Developing nose.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol, high tannins, full body. Flavour intensity pronounced, with forward flavours of juicy blackcurrants, stewed plums, green bell peppers, dark chocolate, earth, and spice. However, the massive oak influence mars the experience somewhat. Long finish.
I guessed a relatively young Left Bank Bordeaux.
Very good quality. Can drink now with a very long decant, but this has so much potential and would be better in maybe another 5+ years when the oak has integrated.
