June 18, 2012 - Not as poor as previous examples - still very brown in colour but it didn't have as much of the brown sugar and over ripe fruit as obviously as previous bottles.
This one was drinkable - pop and poured it - maybe that's the secret -

January 13, 2012 - Very full bodied, decanted and left to itself for 4 hours.
Dark, somewhat stewed cherry tones. Burnt brush, sage, black licorice and pepper. Slightly Dumb but still has underlying balance. Not a stunner but I'm on the fence hoping for more next go round. Expected a brighter showing.
