Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 28, 2024 - This was a good study in that the 2016s need air. At first a bit muted and quite medicinal, this opened up more and more, became more balanced, refined with the fruit becoming brighter and delicate floral notes coming forward. Very promising but needs time and air.

TN: Very intense bouquet with tons of dark cherries, smoke, stems, some menthol. Intriguing but intense and quite ripe nose. On the palate there is a lot of menthol, some medicinal notes, ripe cherries, some smoke and stems atound the red fruit core. Gets rounder and softer with the fruit coming out more and more the longer it sits in the glass. Last sip was best with exploding red berries and floral fruits towards the finish. Lots of finesse and good freshness, airy texture, good balance (with time).

Decanting: At least an hour in a decanter is advised.
