Thursday, March 6, 2014 - Monopole: Faded brick-garnet rim;leather, leaves, coffee liqueur and red cherry, subtle green herbs/eucalyptus, cooked black plum, delicate and intriguing nose. Super silky and plush entry, tannins almost completely resolved, with very fine grip in the finish with just the right amount of lift and tart acidity to give the finish length. Slight graphite, mushroom note with sweet red currants at its core. This started off rather austere but gained weight after 20 minutes and opened up wonderfully and at the end of its peaking window. From 90 to 93 in 30 minutes.
