Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Saturday, December 28, 2019 - Decanted for an hour and drank over another hour and a half. Color was dark and didn't show signs of maturity. Initially a mild amount of dark fruit with restraint. Leather, pencil and cinnamon. Tannins were very soft with long smooth finish. After an hour, sour cherry and plum became more pronounced. Overall an elegant style with smooth after taste at its full maturity.

Edited: Day 2 tasted better with more fruits nose, more structure and concentration. Everything was boosted like on steroids. Upgrade rating from 90 to 92.
