Sunday, April 24, 2016 - -- decanted for 20 minutes before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over a few hours --

NOSE: red-fruited; very fumey; light leather scent; not complex.

BODY: some sediment present; violet-garnet color of medium-deep to deep depth; medium bodied.

TASTE: definitely some gentle underlying leather/earthiness --- some tertiary development; alcohol pokes through (14.9%); medium-light tannins; medium oak; probably on its down-swing; fantastic finish --- this is really where most of the positive attributes are; cherry; cherry liqueur; when paired with steak the alc. wasn't as noticeable. Drink Now. Gut impression score: 86 – 88.
