Tasting Note:December 21, 2017

Barrel Tasting with Gerard Holden and Thierry Haberer.

Super dark purplish red. Ignoring the raw wooded influence there is some dark berries and spices on the nose. Similar notes on the palate. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied with a long finish. Very interested to see where this will be on release.
