Wednesday, January 8, 2014 - Still needs air time to open up.
remained pretty muted and shut for about 3 hours before it started to hit its stride.
Aromas of chocolate, dried cherries, fig, cassis, cooked plum, sweet tobacco, toffee, vanilla and toast. On the palate polished and dense. Dark berry flavors include blackberry preserves, black plum, and currant that are expressive with a heavy dose of mocha, leather, toffee and sweet toasty oak notes. The moderate chocolatey tannins are grippy and the acidity is moderate. The chewy finish is long and moderate plus in intensity.
