87 Points

Wednesday, July 12, 2023 - Nose: Cigar box, thick cassis, cedar spice; cinnamon; with time, a tar-like anise emerges. Palate: Lean; a mingling of wood and chalky mildly tart dark plum; quite spicy (black pepper sensation but not flavor) with sinewy tannins that leaves a "hot" flavor of dried-out wood. While not super enjoyable now, I think time in the cellar will help this come together in a positive way; with time in the glass, there is a strong wood souring effect that becomes a bit distracting.
