Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 19, 2012 - Absolutely beautiful showing. The wine was carefully decanted for sediment. Evident bricking on the pour but the sum of the wine in decanter was medium-dark red. A bit of funk needed to blow off but this wine continuously transformed over the following 2 1/2 hours. 30 minutes in glass and it began unfolding like a flower, continuing to expend a increasingly ripe bouquet. At 2 1/2 hours it began to softly descend and take on a bit of pepper aromatically and the tannin began to predominate. The show was over. But until then it was a silky, balanced wine with a 60s + finish. Very, very nice. A very feminine, elegant wine this one.
