Community Tasting Note

  • Senso-beak wrote: 88 points

    March 29, 2012 - PnP, for some reason these were not in my CT inventory, so I'll have to figure that out. Anyway, pours a light ruby to clear on the rim. Initial aroms of blueberry, flowers, morphing to oak, cedar. Very well balanced, with grained fruit attack of cherry, plum and some graphite. Solid mid-palate to oaky, spicy but smooth long finish. Day two + this has fleshed out quite a bit, with more creosote, jam and tar notes coming to the fore, much better and fuller after a couple days air under vac-u-vin.
