Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - Wow - what a nose! Nice combination of dried red fruits, leather, mushrooms, damp earth and a hint of barnyard. Lean, silky texture with a medium body and a medium finish. Surprisingly sour/bitter (think grapefruit), as I did not expect this based on the nose. Also definitely showing its age as the fruit flavors are subdued and the wine is dominated by the secondary/tertiary flavors. I love everything about this wine except for the bitterness, as it (literally) leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth on the finish. I will not score as I think this may be an "off" bottle. Definitely time to drink up.
