Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 26, 2012 - Aerate to decanter 3 hours, no sediment, drank over the following 3 hours. Dark ruby toward opaque core, no sign of age. Aromas of plum, charcoal, anise seed, vanilla bean and grilled herbs. The fruit is cool on the palate, thanks to a veritable river of acidity. The tannins, firm, pronounced. The finish is long, nearly tongue-seizing. Talc, lava rock, grated cinnamon stick. This continues to gain complexity and shift in the glass every 20-30 minutes. Good, but not great; the 07's are profoundly better, as are the 03's, and more so, the 02's. Drink thru 2024+, 13,0% abv, score: B+/A-
