Jen’s Notes

When I decanted this wine in the kitchen, Shane could smell it in the living room. The intense aromas included cedar, tobacco and florals. On the palate, it was definitely tightly wound, even after decanting. Bottle age is definitely in order. Even so, we could tell that this is an extremely well structured wine with good acidity. Now, the flavors were primarily floral and smoky. There seemed to be some fruit deep down, which should appear with bottle age.
