Community Tasting Note

86 Points

Sunday, February 23, 2014 - Short decant, opened right up. Starting to brick, displaying a murky, dull crimson color with a medium body and some noticeable sediment. Huge upfront component of damp earth, dry leather, leafy tobacco, spicy tomato leaf, and a mixed vegetable nose. Most of the primary fruit has faded; what little red fruit is left is pretty lame. Thin and slightly hollow in the mouth. Definitely aged, not terribly inspiring, and probably past it's prime.
