Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 13, 2015 - Needs more time in bottle, but it was poured for me, so no harm in tasting. Tight right now, but definitely some nice elements showing through, great potential in 5-10 years. Some really expressive fruit up front that I'd like to see mellow out a bit, but also notes of cigar box, graphite, violets, pencil shavings, red licorice, herbs, a little chocolate. Nice, long, mouth coating finish. Tasted alongside a '00 Pegau Cuvee de Capo, which I can only imagine tasted something like this Saxum 12 years ago.
