Chocolate-y brown nose, with malty coffee, caramel and a smidgen of maple and wheat bran. Frothy cappuccino head with sudsy lacing. Wooden, dark-toast entry shows a mousse of some finesse, a rootbeer type character that becomes honeyed, then bakers Choctaw, but always with a sugared black coffee playing shadow. Ends with an expansive, bitter kola nut hangs around to make interesting conversation with your taste buds.

Powerhouse blackberry, black currant, licorice give way to a window of swamp water,tilled earth, dogwood, herbs de provence, toast. Leather greets the palate, fresh boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, plum tartness, smoke, dark tobacco, burnt corn kernels, graphite. Small, grainy tannins turn silky but darkly resonant. Rosemary, baked beets, in this super-young wine that still begs for years of aging to shine far beyond its plastic surgery California alternatives. Day 2: toasty black cherry, dried blackberry, dusty earth, graphite filings, sarsaparilla cookie burnt around the edges, dark raisins, a finish that is part negroni, part sazerac rimmed with raw cocoa. — 9 years ago
