Sunday, February 18, 2018 - Served with pan fried rib eye, squash, and popovers.
Decanted 30 minutes prior to service.
Deep, dark crimson/garnet, purple at the rim.
Earthy, dusty nose, very dark fruit.
Tannins remain, but not dominant, dry, moderate acid, mushrooms with the earthiness, and as noted elsewhere a touch of coffee.
Needs more depth of flavor, and length of finish, to crack into 90 territory.
