Ah, shame. Shame. SHAME! What was I thinking? I had no top so plastic wrap cover? Come on. Of course, the flavor would be diminished. Despite that I am still getting the typical farm notes. Attic hay, hay near the horses but not quite in their stalls, dried grass (we have plenty of that outside right now. We need rain so badly). There are some fruit notes in the finish, they linger and remind me of goji berries. The mouthfeel is soft but also a bit astringent. Fresh is the flavor and aroma. A deep breath makes one feel alive.
