Sunday, December 18, 2016 - Another fantastic bottle. Did not decant. Notes are from after being open for a couple of hours.
I noticed on this one a bit of tannic roughness on the attack that I found a little surprising.
Otherwise, nicely balanced, medium bodied, mostly red berry fruit but a bit of plum maybe. Rich but not ripe. Long finish where some earth and tea flavors emerge. Maybe a little bit of smoke throughout, but only just a hint. There is also a bit of orange peel on the nose.
