Thursday, September 1, 2011 - First night we decanted 1/2 a bottle for 45 min. Lots of strawberry and vanilla on nose. A little flat on front palate with hints of spice, oak and (Tobacco, Husbands taste) Was a little hot on the finish. 88 pts
Second night ran through a vinturi. This wine opened up very nicely. Lots of Bing cherries and hint of dark chocolate on nose. On tasting there was more fruit forward, dark fruit, chocolate, spice and dark cherries. Mid palate nice acidity and (tobacco, earthy flavor, Husbands taste). Nice medium finish and much smoother. Was a much better wine after opening would recommend decanting. Pushing 90 pts :-)
Had with steak and Italian sausage for dinner.
For $ 9.50 this wine is my mid week "Ah Hell lets open a bottle of wine." wine.
