Tuesday, June 9, 2015 - Decanted. Still pretty dark in colour, dark cherry red centre, dark brick on robe and light brick red on the rim. Nose is a nice mix of black and red fruits and secondary notes. Brush and leather are the notes I pick up, but this is pretty complex, maybe a tinge of tar. Palate still shows some tight tannins along with brisk acidity, but there is enough red cherry and dark plum fruit to balance the tannins. Still tastes like it has some ways to go, even though the nose and colour say drink up. Glad I drank this now.
As an aside, I did a comparative glass tasting on this, and it worked way better in a syrah glass than a pinot glass. maximised the nose and minized the tannins.
