Saturday, April 15, 2017 - Dark ruby with slight hints of brick, perfumed nose of tobacco, cassis, mocha, menthol, vanilla, black cherry and soda, lean and gripping on the attack followed by layered red and black fruit, black tea, juicy acidity, iron and dusty tannins, racy finish with loads of cherry, acidity, earth and "fill in the blank"
Note: tasted like an 89 the first night but a 94 on by the second day, much darker, fuller and complex
