Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 15, 2024 - CdB MN Spring Event (Minneapolis Club, Mpls, MN): Very dark red/purple color with a 2mm clear edge. Drank a couple glasses over 2 hours from a 6L Imperial. If I have this right, it was open for 3.5hrs, then was decanted into multiple 1 liter Erlenmyer flasks until serving about 2 hours later. The color is impressive, still dense and well saturated, in very good shape; Cigar box, pencil, tobacco leaf, minerals, cassis, dried violets, and a hint of eucalyptus on the provocative nose. The palate is full bodied, there's some nice funk and earth here, classic Pauillac, cassis, black raspberry, pencil and fine cigar, mineral and sweet wood notes and a little umami character. The tannins are nice, rounded and complimentary and this has good length. My second glass had quite a bit of sediment and was not quite as impressive as the first. It was great fun to drink this from Imperial!
