NOTES:
Sharp & rather superficial. Sits a tick cloudy in the cup w/ a dirty Merlot under-hue. Aroma is a muted though not dustily-so -- simply far-away thing. Ground pepper. There are a bit of the high/forward top-notes on the nose, as well. On the sipping too, natch. Those, namely, are tree bark & nutshell. Dry. Toasty. Not sharp in a cutting way, but in a very focused one. Strict.

Underneath that & added on a good slurp is a thin singed cocoa. Lots of linear earthiness crisply throughout. Very clean. Void of nuance & lacking in complexities. Rigid & unwavering. Not unkind, just limited. Balance is actually spot-on for what's displayed. Finish gets a bit watery. Needs more notes... even the primaries at times seem hollow. Not meh, but MEH. Bold, flat.

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