Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 3, 2012 - Breeders' Cup XXIX; 11/2/2012-11/3/2012: Decanted 7 hours. A more restrained bottle than 8/28/12, perhaps given too long of a decant. Initially dry oak stuck out on the nose, but this blew off after the first hour or so. Nose has blackberry and plum, but the fruit has a mature character to it--mellow, lower acid--with graphite mineral, herbs, and some vanilla edges. Palate follows with blackberry and plum, creamy mouthfeel, mocha, dried green herbs, leading to a solid finish. Next time would limit to a 3-hour decant.
