December Themed Tastings; 12/22/2016-12/29/2016 (At Home): Deep garnet red. Stinky attack on the nose that starts to dissapate and bring out some more vegetal and green characteristics like herbs and bell peppers. Low tannins (4.5/10) with lots of bell peppers and spices prior to a long finish of guava. Medium body that gained some more darker berries with more air. Drink now.

Deep garnet in color. Nose has camphor and anise. Palate is slightly tanninc with deep black currant and a hint of smoke. The finish is sharp and tannic with minerality trailing off.

Hint of guava fruit and dirty cellar in the nose. The dirty cellar dissipates quickly and leaves a very enjoyable light oak wood.
Fruity guava on the palate with light acid in the finish. Light medium body. Simple and drinkable.
Day 2 tasting: Clearly mellowed but the tannins are still nice and 6/10. A little more earthy and sandy and enjoayable - maybe 88?

Wow! Everything one would hope for. I will lay down a couple bottles every year and keep my fingers crossed.
