Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - opened & poured..... deep ruby, nose has strong freshness, slight smoky, hint of veg but sweet fruits the main attraction..... same as the nose, sweet on mid palette of lovely plum, dark chocolate with smooth finish..... tobacco + slight mineral in background.....
2 hours late, darker tone took over but sweetness invaded to front palette all the way to finish.... alot more dark plums came forward
3+ hours, the forest sets in, the sweetness subsided & the earthiness surfaced.... very interesting ride
