2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
2006 750 mL bottle thanks to Aaron! Pour is slightly hazy red with big bubbles, thin head, some slight alcohol legs on there as well. Taste is some toffee, caramel, butter and cardboard notes, slight grass in there as well. Taste is toffee, some butter and cardboard, slight biscuit notes but finishes watery and slightly dry. This is rated low, but I’m rating it as it is, probably was better fresh!
