Saturday, January 26, 2008 - Binny's winter warm up (Binny's Highland Park, highland park IL): nose: all oak and nothing else. Not even getting butter or anything like that, just oak
taste: sweet and tangy, but also tons more oak.
overall: very dissapointing. this one was one I was really looking forward to, and it just failed. Good weight on the palate, but oak just dominates this. It has good structure and a long finish, but the finish is all oak. The reason that this doesn't get rated a lot lower is that there seems to be something there, so maybe this just needs a bit of time to show off better.
