March 14, 2015 - Dinner with good friends at I Trulli (I Trulli, Flatiron, NYC): Ruby, barely bricking; had a fill way up into the neck to just below the cork. The nose is infinitely funky; at first it smelled exactly like a boat full of freshly harvested oysters, saline, seaweed, shells; now, it smells like shit, literally, like an unpumped septic tank; shit like a septic tank at an abandoned elementary school in Chernobyl. Whoa...! Also lanolin, like an unshaved sheep's ass. Incredibly vivid and alive. The palate is tannic, simpler than the nose by far; rosy leather. Really good, though simple, length. Wow! A great experience and a darn fun bottle of wine.
