Sunday, November 25, 2012 - On Pop N Pour: Intense nose of sweet creme de cassis, black cherries and black plum pumice. the palate shows the same intensity, and it may be too much. It is very rich. After about 6 hours this starts fleshing out nicely. Redder fruits start emerging and balance starts falling into place. There is some nice pureness, framboise, red raspberries and more. Tannins are big boned and super complicated. Finish is long keeping all of the fruits in play. It has become an altogether different wine: fragrant and big boned, this one needs a bunch of years to show its potential. Love the transition.
