Showing shockingly well! Not showing any over the top alcohol or extraction that is reminiscent of the vintage.

Nov 2nd, 2013Touch of cooked fruit on the nose. Big smokey vanilla jammy nose. Almost a little truffle garlic hint. Hint of wet cement Inky color still Taste: sweet thick jam long finish touch port maybe held wrong and that's the cooked fruit. Quickly blows off but a bit a formalhyde there. Bit flawed on first opening Let's hope it all pulls together. Really opens up to sweet soft tannins and long long finish. A touch too soft and could use more structure but very nice.
