Thursday, June 2, 2016 - I have very mixed feelings about this bottle. No sediment to speak of. But it needs air. It was much better after about 2 hours of being open than before.
Smells great, and it tastes great at first, but the finish turns into a hot grapey mess. Having said that, I guess I don't like it that much. My wife thought it was terrific. The nose is very floral, a lot of earth, some red berry fruit. The palate is pretty rich, dark fruits, smoke, but a little flabby. And then on the finish it gets to be too much.
