Community Tasting Note

    January 31, 2019 - Starts out promising, with snappy blackberry fruit on a slender frame with some toasty cedar in the background. But there's this not-so-fresh feeling on account of the edgy, drying tannins and a whiff of old used books, and that woodiness segues from fancy cedar to something more like decaying driftwood on the back end. Not corked, but I'll reserve judgment whether this is representative until I can try another bottle.
