Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 17, 2024 - HMC brought this to our event last night with about a 2 hour decant and then it slow ox'd at the table for about 3 more.....

Dark garnet in the glass.....strong nose of candied pine needles and a bit of menthol with some cedar on the back end, as well.

Palate of red/dark red fruit. Quite balanced and smooth at this stage and with this decant. Quite good considering it's one of the most affordable Carters. I toyed with giving it a 95 but it just appeared to be a bit too young and 'candied' at this stage. I really used to love that candied fruit component, but my palate is slowly moving off that. As one of the others in the group said, it felt a bit manufactured to him. It's pretty yummy but I'd like to see what it does in a year or three......thanks for bringing this one, HMC.
