Community Tasting Note

80 Points

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 - Extremely golden straw colour, which at such a young age is a bit of a red flag if you'll pardon the pun. Overpowering oak nose with just a touch of gunsmoke (the unpleasant smell on your hands from firing a pistol at a firing range without gloves). Cloying palate where it's difficult to figure out whether the oak or the pine-fragrance toilet cleaner have ascendency. In golfing terminology, someone tried to hit a 300 yard tee shot but the ball sliced 90 degrees after 50 yards.
