Thursday, December 15, 2016 - Musar Dinner (Tim's, SF): Pleasantly earthy, bretty nose, with a core of ripe tertiary cherry and dried raspberry.
The palate is more structured than I remember - elevated acid and tannins.
The finish is laden with ripe tamari-cherry and sweet-smelling forest leaves. Beautiful.
It's possible that this is putting on weight and power as it ages, as is the puzzling case with post-Inflection Musar.
