Top Notes For
Mark Flesher

Deep, intense. Almost a purple colored pour with a youthful purple fruit nose. Entry of dark and dense dirty purple fruit, with a little bit of heat that blew off after about 20 minutes. Added cinnamon and vanilla cookie type of note in the middle. Despite the air, this was still had some pretty stiff and youthful tannin. Drank very well, but I know that with slow ox this one will probably be amazing tomorrow. If you have one of these, I would hold on to it for at least a couple of years.
