Sunday, March 9, 2014 - This wine develops a lot with air, becoming much more savory. Had it open over the course of 1.5 hours. Definitely give it a good decant... and would drink it with food. I love acidity but this is too much now. I think this needs several more years to mellow out. You certainly don't get the heat from the 14.7% alcohol though.
Black tea, dark fruits on the nose; medium body, medium tannin, high acidity; black tea, plum (upon pop and pour), dark fruits, earth and slightly bloody (with air); medium finish with dark fruits and on an uptick in acid.
