Friday, April 19, 2024 - Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (EBCC): Blind. Another that has some bricking and shows a bit of age. Chocolate, mint and black fruit notes. Full-bodied and integrated, with flavors of plum, black fruit and mint. There’s a subtle meaty element here as well. Excellent. 92-93 pts.
Double decanted off its sediment 90 minutes ahead of the tasting, and it needed that little bit of time to wake up and begin to show itself. Drink over the near term.
