NOTES:

Noses malty-cocoa & somewhat dull. Dusty. Eyes in a dark amber manner, a tick shy of crystal-clearly. Sips w/ a muted peppery-wood & not enough carryover from aroma -- tho it tries. Flat. Slurps don't add much more, if anything, to the profile. There is a nice balance of plush over astringent on the body but the finish is a quite diluted thing.

Frankly, I taste a lot of water in this here cuppa. No complexities; maybe a brief citrus glimpse far back & out. Nary a nuance save in the faint & fleeting pepper-wood melange. One could claim "attainable." Apter yet might be "simple." I'd say "pedestrian," then not wonder at all why I'm never invited to parties.

FINAL GRADE: B-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
