All previous notes apply. My last bottle. A good SB, but one in which I found myself longing for a little more "oomph" from overall. Crisp, light, and agreeable. A good sipper on a hot day.
This bottle was dialed-in; a more finessed expression of the sometimes touchy 2013 vintage, with friendly red and black berry flavors roped around red cherry, river rock, red licorice, purple plum,…
This particular bottle was similar to SMHALPS' recent tasting note. Gooey, sweet fruit and licorice, with a plump core and rounded, plush texture. A chewy mouthful of ripe fruit. Not too much tension…
Massive chocolatey and meaty fruit on the attack, with sweet gobs of black and red raspberry, cassis, licorice, and charcuterie on the front end. Quite the bitter bite on the tail at the moment.
