Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 17, 2017 - Dinner with Friends (Giant, Chicago): Popped and poured, given a few minutes in the glass to open up. Dusty garnet in color showing a little bit of age. Aromas of dark fruit, red currants, spice, roasted game, rose and floral notes. I could have spent the rest of the night with my nose in the glass except that the lamb ragu with gnocchi and pecan-smoked baby back ribs had arrived at the table. Tannins have almost completely integrated. Red berry fruit, pepper, spice and rare beef flavors. There's a garrigue-like element that develops with a bit more air and the beefy/iron quality on the palate deepens a bit as well. Long finish. Impressive depth and balance throughout. Simply an awesome bottle. 96 pts for Domino and 96-97 pts for me.
