Sunday, July 19, 2015 - Open 24 hrs. This is bigger than I expected. Am I drinking it too young, or is it just too big? Agressive primary nose of blue fruits, dark cherry, black raspberry, blackberry - really juicy and alive, almost citric, some spice, some earth, very brambly. A touch of heat shows up now and again. Better on the palate, showing the primary fruit, citric aspect, earth and spice, but the midpalate shows like a more balanced pinot. A bit of structure, good acid, framing everything and keeping it in place. The finish is even more restrained - with earth, spice and brambles. Not bad. Maybe this will be quite good in 5-10 years. Hard for me to say. Nose - 4/6, Palate - 4.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 14.5/20.
