deep sweetness on the nose with earth and tabacco leaf. light and elegant oak notes to the nose. not outrageously aromatic. very fine tannins integrating. deep cherry fruit.
nose of molasses and brown sugar. again deep cherry fruit penetrates here. hints of lime leaf on the nose. tannins flex their muscle and then fall off.
quite a bit of brett here. old old cedar chest. downwind from a straw pile. great mouthfeel and bright raspberry fruit. tingle lingers with elegant hints of a farm on the finish.
oops, i left my taste on the table. more like in the table cloth. i wish i could sneak another taste right now, but in the context of the tasting...we'll see.
