Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 27, 2023 - Splendid! Lots of sediment that makes decanting a must. Nose does not offer a lot of hints on what will follow, but after a brief period of aeration, it is ready to drink. Would not suggest decanting any longer than 30 minutes before consumption. Initial palate presents with a light, aromatic olive note, followed immediately by ripe blackberry, pure dark chocolate bitterness that fades into a refreshing feel of toasted tobacco notes. Very tannic and astringent, aftertaste is punctuated by a touch of pepperiness in the throat, that is relieved by the indulgent firm bitterness of chocolate notes, which linger for a long time after each sip. Very complex, yet fairly smooth, with different flavors developing and varying intensities as it spent time in the glass. Seems to me to be near the zenith of its aging, but would recommend to drink now, as it definitely will go downward soon.
