Por Larranaga Petit Corona LGR FEB18 (MPCRW)

[JoeyBones777]

This is from a PSP box from our wonderful host. Upon v cut the draw is perfect.

1st third there is some pepper on the palette with some wood, hints of leather and a burnt sugar sweetness. Through the nose is some dark berries.

2nd third shows toasted tobacco and wood. The pepper has gone and the mongrel has shown up. The retro has some light sweetness and is clean.

Final third is a bit more mongrely?, may not be a word, but anyway, dark chocolate, burnt sugar, wood, scotch/leather and clean tobacco retro with floral hints. Dark berries pop in and out.

Had to relight a couple times but all in all it was flavorful and balanced with good potential. Definitely young but the dark berry note showed depth and I can see the bitter chocolate and burnt sugar morphing into the caramel I'm hoping these will bring down the line. I give it an 88 now and who knows in 4 to 5 years.
