Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 26, 2021 - Dark blackish reddish orange in appearance with a slight clear meniscus. The aromatic nose is dominated by rich, sweet bake fruits, followed by what I describe as a sense of overwhelming meat, rubber tires and assorted herbs with a hint of spiciness and some residual alcoholic heat. The palate is quite rich, full-bodied, a tad of sweetness, spicy and relatively soft and smooth with a degree of old vine complexity but still contains a degree of awkwardness in the middle palate where the fruit seems to be overwhelmed by a wall of herbaceousness and rubber which gives way to a fleeing flash of oak. The flavor profile is pretty much the same as my previous tasting of this in 9/29/18. While I do think that this may still have some mojos to last for at least the short (3 years) to mid-term (7 years), but I do not think that it will get any better. Personally, my best experience with was back in 10/26/11 when I first tried this while it was in it’s early years of life. Unfortunately, I won’t have the pleasure of finding out firsthand since this is my last of the 5 bottles I that got back in 2010.
