88 Points

Thursday, February 27, 2014 - Pop and pour and served with food and then followed on its own. (The food was a veal cutlet and then a pierogi, in case you were wondering.)
Dark and rich maroon color; showing no real sign of bricking.
Nose of mint/menthol and cedar.
Tastes of black fruits with a little bit of licorice,menthol and a slight touch of eucalyptus. Shows a good dose of acidity that started leaning towards being astringent. A nice wine but perhaps a bit one dimensional. Showed more promise upon first opening but then the acidity move more towards the astringent side.

Stuck the cork back in and the wine sat for two days. Checked in again. The wine held up after two days, showing some good black fruits and cedar notes, with the acidity still providing lift.
