Party shorts LAU May 2016  (FRCSW5)

 

 

Always a stable. This one is from a 50 cab

 

Opening is oaky and spicy. Charred Wood, Cloves and White pepper. I had a few from this cab lately that had some sour acidity to it in the beginning, but this one delivers what i want out of a party shorts right away. It settles quickly to the earthy profile with some pepper and cinnamon spice.

 

Medium bodied, and halfway it develops a nice coffee Cream profile to go with the earth. Seems more aged than one from the same cab a month ago. Dont know how that Works. Retro is White pepper and cedar Wood, with a leather after-note

 

Towards the finish it stays consistent with the same flavors, just a tad less creamy. wrapper is having a crack and there is a burn issue, which will cost it 1 point. It is limited how lyrical one can be about a party shorts, but i always find myself enjoying them when i am in the mood for the party profile, but wihtout much time, or if it is late, to go with a Night cap.

 

Paired with a 20 YO Armagnac.
