Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 9, 2015 - Not decanted, 1 glass consumed over ~45 minutes. We didn't give this much air, which was a mistake. Aromatically, this came and went, sometimes only showing muted red fruit and at other times giving off whiffs of tea leaf/tobacco and spice. On the palate, medium-weight with lots of tart berry/sour cherry fruit and something a bit green and woody/herbal around the edges. Although reserved, this was pretty decent, and may have a little potential for improvement when it loosens up.

(Update from finishing this off two evenings later: this has opened up aromatically and gained just a little depth; aside from that, the description above holds.)
