I think I am harsh in my scoring tonight and this is probably an 85. Past it's prime with some light rose nose and brick brown in color. A short finish but tannins holding up nicely.
Slightly chalky on the nose which confused me initially. Light brown around the edge with moderate tannins but nor perfectly in balance between the acid and sugars.

My score is low from the scoring - I would have given it an 89 unscored. Brown brick edge showing from age with a light delicate violet nose. An interesting dry sandiness in the finish.
I am sure that this score will appear a little high and maybe it was the way the flight was arranged or just the timing from a decanting perspective. Green pepper and mushrooom on the nose with fruit underneath. Good medium tannins with a lovely long finish. Some clean cigar box on the nose too.
This is still too young and it would be great to retaste in 2014. Very clean chalky terrior with a dry finish and hint of heat that needs to age. The dust together with the chalk is a little dark but not musty or wet.
