Monday, May 7, 2007 - First of all, after you open this, don't drink it for at least 48 hours. Rough and hot on days 1 and 2 so I blew it off. Day three it was like one of those layered drinks like a B52 except the layers were 75% blackberry with the other layers made up of currant, blueberry and a little cherry. Then there was a little vanilla bean garnish (and plum) that penetrated all the layers, revealing a little bit of the oak but it was below the threshold of the amount of oak I usually disdain. Aroma was warm dark fruits and a little oaky plum. Texture was (at least on day three) rich, relatively smooth and extracted. Acidity moderate. finish long. This is probably a good drinker in a few years or today with agressive decanting. Probably not a super long keeper(?)
