Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Saturday, March 17, 2012 - Nose: Bright currants, leather, pencil lead, tobacco leaf. Strong and fragrant. Palate: Currants, crushed gravel, pencil lead, tobacco leaf on the attack . Big, drying tannins, puckering acidity on the mid-palate. Tart currants, cedar, pencil lead linger on the finish.

Young, focused, and intense in its current state. This needs a good 5+ years but there is ample material to make this a standout.
