  January 16, 2015 - -- decanted 4 hours before initial taste --
  -- tasted single-blind on Day 1; tasted non-blind on Day 2 --
  
  NOSE: Day 1: expressive; red-fruited; floral; hints of cumin and mild chilli powder. Day 2: darker fruits today; hint of black licorice; dry cured meats – Italian salami.
  
  BODY: clear; garnet color of medium-light depth; medium-light to light bodied.
  
  TASTE: Day 1: smooth; high acidity; red-fruited; no tannin; medium-light oak; 13.8% alc. not noticeable; single blind, I guessed this to be the ’03 Francesca’s Pinot Noir. Day 2: tight; light to medium-light green streak; fruits a bit muted. Hold.
