Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - Appearance: Clear, translucent med garnet color with oranging rim, M visc.
Nose: Baked red fruit, organic earth, forest moss, dried clove. American oak.
Palate: Sour dark cherry, red fruit, baking spice, earth. Significant oak influence. M+ acid, M tannin, M body/alc., M finish (though a lot of complexity disappears quickly). Balanced, but I'd like to see this again in 5 years after it has a chance to integrate a little further.

    I think you've got the point
    I am going to be drinking this wine until 2031.
    Time will tell how it is developing.
    Cheers,
