August 29, 2013 - Open 24 hours: Smells like dark cherries and plums crushed onto hot, fresh asphalt. Really quite smooth and easy to drink today, I remember the structure being a bit overpowering yesterday. Dark fruit flavors show initially leading into bright acids on the finish. Nice body and persistence, as I take more sips the tannins build and build. Less stones and tar than I got on the nose, the fruit is easily the initial flavor currently. Overall a really nice wine. Drinking better a day later than as a PnP, so if you plan on drinking it soon I would suggest decanting it.
