Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 24, 2012 - Not really sure what to make of this glass. Certainly complex. Bold, powerful, fruity, floral, animal nose. Youthfully tight on the palate yet with sweet, ripe, fleshy fruit. Dark earthy fruits, violets, licorice, and leather, with some old world charm, but the fruit is clearly Cali in ripeness. Sweaty (in a good way) and meaty... feral might be more accurate. A bit sweeter than I remember and thicker in texture as well... not as clean as I expected. Firm sturcture. Great length and power. This is an XL Esprit from TC. Not sure how long this had been open but it seemed in a weird spot. The fruit was on the verge of overwhelming the structure, like a buxum lady in a ridiculously tight brassiere. (Both show) Great material though. Patience required.
