  January 31, 2011 - From the same lot as the last bottle, but this definitely seems a bit over the hill. At first this was pretty nasty, but it's not so bad now that it's been in the glass for two hours. The nose shows some creamy oak, almost caramel like, and some light greenies. Some spice, green pretty mild soft fruit at this point. The palate is primarily spice and some dryness and it's pretty interesting, with briar and dirty strawberries added at the end. The finish is a little nastier still, though, like funky wood mixed with plastic shavings, and it's drying, making my mouth pucker.
