Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 13, 2017 - I love SBR Petites and have had great luck with them. They are generally extracted, high octane monsters that are still fun to drink and experiment with in terms of hedonistic pleasure and downright palate coating intensity.

That said, this 2007 PS seemed to fall off the edge almost immediately. Too much extraction; too much alcohol. Kind of a plum-ridden, wonky mess throughout consumption. This collapsed into a stewy, muddled concoction that I just couldn't get past. Showed fleeting moments of having spine and focus, but then would instantly be catapulted into a wonky sweet vanilla sidewinder after it worked its way through the mid-palate and on to the back end.

Some overly ripe black cherry and blackberry liqueur flavors, with sweet chocolate and chewy fudge notes. Some crockpot, slow-cooker lamb loin flavors that threw this thing all out of whack. Kinda felt like gumming through a syrupy, sweet, melted chocolate-cherry truffle that had been dipped in vodka and thrown in mulch. It had that old confection sugar texture about it.

Not a fan. 84-86 points. This is worlds apart from the 2010 SBR Petite (which I really had become fond of in the past).
