Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 14, 2015 - Tasted over 3 days. My impression: Too light on the fruit, too heavy on the oak. There were some nice subtle flavors, but this lacked depth and the overt oak got in the way. I generally have an old world palate, so I don't need a fruit bomb to please me, but this just lacked charisma. Gained a little weight on the third evening which helped a bit.
