Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 92.5 points

  • Decanted for sediment to a dark ruby color in glass with a wide tan rim with bricking. Great aromas of prunes, dates, leaves, damp earth, a sharp cedar. If you have ever opened a pack of Marlboro Reds and taken a deep breath, it is along those lines. The palate changes rapidly over the first hour starting with prunes, dates, plum, leather, and damp earth. The fruit begins to come more to the forefront with more air. The tannins are resolved and pick up a slightly chalky feeling with air. A low acidity clears to a long finish of blackberry, plum, and damp earth. Fully mature and aging gracefully. This never had a peak for me, it just coasted along for over 4 hours and was completely enjoyable the entire time it was evolving.
