Saturday, October 21, 2023 - Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: Dark yet light red floral notes, aromatic cedar notes, damp red-fruited forest floors, a really subtle hint of mushrooms growing nearby, and amazingly pure, dark red cherries with a vivid intensity, almost prickly.
P: The purity of dark red fruits show beautifully on the palate as well, dark and intense yet somehow maintains a class act. Tobacco leaves, some underlying tar and matching cedar from the nose. A faded but beautiful graphite note, like an old note scribbled on parchment years ago, and dried, snapped twigs on the finish, along with some steeped tea.
Amazing how day 2 showed more tertiary notes, but they recede and go back into hiding, as if it never happened in the first place. What type of black magic is this?? Resolve and integration at its finest.
