Tuesday, October 16, 2018 - Nose: Cherry, plum, persimmon, cedar, coffee, spice and jammy berry notes. A bit of alcohol poking out and a very warm impression overall. Palate: Actually a bit loud. The acid, fruit and alcohol are all turned up very high so it kind of shouts at you a bit. "A real hammer" my notes indicate.
Compared to the 2010 the 2009 really had a big personality and felt a bit brash and disjointed. I'll take Jeff Leve's note and trust that this is headed to sleep. Worth revisiting.
