Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 22, 2018 - Perfectly stored at 55 since release. Slight seepage at cork (1mm into the neck fill) had me a little concerned so i decanted for very fine sediment directly into a clean bottle. No worries mates as this was delicious from the get go. Color is inky dark with garnet & purple hues. 2mm meniscus. The nose is pure dark fruit compote; black cherry, blackberry and a note of honey and a touch of cedar. Flavors are rich but not cloying, more silky softness than velvety with more red fruit coming into play in the back of the mouth and some minty notes coming in on the finish. Initially the tannins are soft but become more noticeable as the initial fruit blast calms down and more moca notes come out as well as a touch of VA and orange peel and with more tome some dill. I am sure it will continue to evolve over the next few hrs. but its tome to drink rather than post. Nice finish which begs for some food so I am going to grill some meat and enjoy. I would recommend PNP and following the evolution as it develops. Not much upside in cellaring but should drink well for another few years.
