Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - Monday California Tasting: Nose of red berries and hints of tobacco. Quite a bit of acidity and dry tannins. All a bit short. Quite disappointing

I have had many Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill's from the 80's and they have to breathe for hours and hours, at least 8 and often it is better after 24+. That acidity you mention and dry tannin turns into rich dark chocolate with enough time. Quirky perhaps but I have seen it rather consistently over the years.
