Community Tasting Note

  January 26, 2012 - Big nose of flowers, fresh black berries, dark red cherries, graphite, and mocha. Palate of blueberry jam, currant, marachino cherries, and fresh blackberries, with traces of mocha and espresso. Very extracted. Chewy, chalky, drying tannins. Noticeable alcohol burn above 65F Needed at least a couple hrs to open up enough to enjoy. Medium to long finish. Wait at least a 3+ years to open more. Great complexity and concentration but the high alcohol puts it out of balance.
