Very smokey on first opening, some fruit underneath; decanted and held, tasted over 1.5 hours and never really dissipated the overtly smokey character, a little tart on the flavors, medium body but never achieved anything but sourness and smoke/ burnt. May be flawed but consistent experience with other adjacent vintages.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Mike's & LA's): Lovely red & black fruit aromas; chocolate and vanilla. Medium-bodied, with flavors of red fruit, blackberry and vanilla. Chalky tannins noticeable on the finish.

A nice blend, well done, but not a lot here. Thin on the finish.
