Sunday, December 14, 2014 - Popped and poured, this took 45-60 minutes to open up so it should be aerated/decanted about that far ahead of time. Consumed over 3.5 hours. Clear ruby color. First aromas were of fresh red meat and minerals, then red fruits, cherry, cranberry; after two hours lovely herbal hints (oregano, tarragon ?), smoke, spice. Full and lingering flavors of cherry gave way to dried red fruits and a lovely dusty, rustic, earthy flavor. Sustained mineral flavors, acidity and soft, dusty tannins. Subtle residual sweetness, excellent length.
