Community Tasting Note

  April 17, 2015 - I opened this tonight just to see where it is in its evolution. While it is still a pup,it is actually more approachable than the 2000 vintage which I had a year ago. Nose is expressive with licorice, cedar, eucalyptus / menthol and spice with a touch of iron/beef blood. The fruit is concentrated with plum, black cherry that is slightly overripe, but not overdone. Tannin is firm, but surprisingly approachable with food. I won't open another for at least five years, but this was fun to try at the age of 12. Decanted and enjoy over the course of 3 hours.
