  At a restaurant, from a half bottle. Essentially PnP, although it developed reasonably over 30-60 minutes. These notes were taken at the end of that period. The wine's color is a medium+ garnet. The nose has red fruit (cherries+), a bit of tar, a bit of leather, a bit of earth. The palate has cherries, some forest floor, not a lot of complexity. The body of the wine is a solid medium with balanced acids and tannins. The tannins are mostly integrated by now and support the wine but are not intrusive. This is a nice wine, but not a great one (especially for the price at a restaurant). ABV 14.5%

  Opened and poured a short glass an hour before tasting. The color of this wine is a light straw yellow. The cork had a small amount of mold under the capsule, but the wine itself didn't smell or taste tainted (after a short airing to off-gas residuals). The nose was muted. The palate has tart green apple, citrus, and limestone with quite a bit of acid, leading to an imbalance that was off-putting. The body was medium-. The impression was of a wine almost past its drink-by date (remember this was a 375ml, so a 750ml may fair better). ABV 12.5%
