Sunday, April 15, 2018 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 2 – 3 hours on Day 1; brief sip on Day 3 --

NOSE: medium expressiveness; high-toned – almost a touch sour-smelling; red-fruited; old wood furniture; hint of diesel. Oxidized mess on Day 3.

BODY: lots of fine particulate matter present; blood red color of medium depth with some bricking throughout; medium-light bodied.

TASTE: fine tannin is drying; medium+ acidity; leathery and earthy; light aged red fruits – thinner than I'd prefer; bitter and earthy – almost a touch metallic; past peak; sweetened-up a bit with air; leafy aspect; gentle woodsy spice; gross, oxidized mess on Day 3. I probably would have scored this higher a few years ago. Drink Now.

50, 5, 11, 14, 7 = 87
