Tuesday, March 13, 2012 - First off I would introduce this wine by saying I had it, alone, at a fantastic little restaurant in Asheville, NC called Table (highly recommended) after a day of travel and mostly not a great day in the life. This started out distinctively funky, tart and a little lacking in the stuffung department with a trace of metallic notes on the finish. After 30 minutes it began to prop itself up and another 30 minutes it began to fully emerge. Aromatic in that Fourrier way which I think pairs wonderfully with the vintage. Fresh and rich fruit that filled up the mid-palate nicely and evolved from richly red to sprightly sappy blacker qualities over the last hour. Beautiful mid-weight texture and soft tannins that suggest earlier term drinking is just fine. Very good indeed.
