Monday, April 6, 2009 - First opened at a tasting on 4/4, decanting 3 hours. Truly showed it's youth, being VERY tight and closed in both nose and palate with HUGE tannins. Was also at end of tasting, so limited memory of specifics other than that I did quite enjoy it even then. Re-bottled at least an hour+ later.
Tonight, it is truly showing well. Nose has opened up tremendously with notes of tar, cedar cigar box, blackberry & dark cherry. Quite a bit of spice on the nose as well. On the palate it bursts with blackberry/black cherry, roasted spices and herbs, and silky tannins still going strong. Will wait at least 2 years before opening another one.
