Friday, December 6, 2013 - A little leaner and more vibrant (acidic) than some other recent years. Better on night 2 as the oak (cluster?) integrated some. Smoke, toast, pepper, and violets on the palate. Palate was mostly crunchy purple fruit, pepper, some floral character. Toast and mocha finish, with the slightly angular acidity more prominent than the tannins. Needs some years to flesh out.
