Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - Gave it a week to settle from shipping, then opened one to see if its as good as expected. Jesus, what an experience decanting one of these is. The smell alone is like eating a blackberry pie. A quick taste showed some tightness, a bit of alcohol (it is 15.5%, afterall), chocolate and graphite and cedar. All very promising.

An hour in: great integration of wood and fruit. The tannins have receded slightly. Very smooth. Wonderfully elegant. In a year, this may well warrant a 94.
