Friday, April 25, 2008 - Some initial bottle funk. Blew off very quickly then nose closed up. Nose begin to really open up after an hour. Needs around an hour of breathing to let nose develop and tannins soften and integrate. Nose of Ludens wild cherry cough drops (but in a pleasant way) and bitter chocolate with some cigar box and white pepper. Very nice mouth feel. Medium bodied. Restrained fruit and tannins in nice balance. Taste of bitter chocolate, Ludens wild cherry cough drops, and pepper. Very lingering finish on the mid palate, not much in the way of finish on the back palate. Nice wine, wish I had a few more bottles. Seems like it can age several more years.
