Community Tasting Note

    February 1, 2014 - Caveat: this sat in the decanter a solid week before I tried it, and was from magnum. It showed no noticeable decline whatsoever from he small sip I took immediately after decanting.

    Dark as satan's soul - even under intense light there is just the slightest hint of violet at the very edge. Blackberries on the nose with lots of heat. Lovely sweet notes of blackberry and plums with the heat of schnapps. A tiny bit of tar that fades quickly and blueberry with lovely vanilla in the finish along with noticeable heat. The finish is delicious and does linger, where blueberry juice takes over for quite a spell. A bit robust for my taste, but very interesting. This could easily have evolved another decade, maybe two.
