Community Tasting Note

bhouk Likes this wine:

Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - Purchased on release and well-stored since; decanted about an hour before the start of the consumption period which continued for another 3 hours. The nose is a little gamey and sweetly smoky. Fairly evolved and rounded but with good, grippy mid-palate presence. Ends long with more game and sweet/sour cherry. Fantastic right now (this is why cellaring wine makes any sense at all), but I personally do not see any reason to be in a hurry. I'd be very surprised if this is not still drinking just beautifully in another decade.

Second day: The additional glass and a half did nothing to dissuade my day one analysis. Baking spices, notably cinnamon, became more prominent. The Right Stuff. The lofty reputation is well deserved.
