Community Tasting Note

  October 15, 2015 - Decanted for 4+ hours.
  Dark garnet, opaque through the core, lightening as it approaches the rim with no color variation. Legs show medium-plus staining. Bright/day bright reflections.
  Aromas pushing towards high intensity with scents of cherry that borders on dry and fresh, cassis, vanilla, pencil shavings, cigar box, wild thyme and herbs, ripe blackberry, drying flowers and plum with ancillary notes of cigar, leather and chocolate.
  An opulent, rich palate showing its pedigree. Tertiary notes starting to peak out but overall still showing youthfulness. Cherry, cassis, plum and blackberry along with herbs and flowers all show a range between the fresh and dried spectrum. Vanilla, toasty oak, leather and chocolate flavors unfold as well. The finish is long and smooth. This should continue to develop nicely.
