Community Tasting Note

  • psmith wrote: 89 points

    October 29, 2016 - Even by LRA standards, this is an insane amount of dill. Some pretty, dark, sour cherry notes on the nose and a headiness that begs attention, but the palate is in a tough spot. Medium bodied but a somewhat sour, bitter profile that's not so attractive. Super-firm acidic framing. Needs food. Unimpressive 890 at this stage, and I'm increasingly skeptical of LRA's 2001s.
