Too old or dumb phase? This bottle is very muted, both nose and palate. I've been sipping on this, on and off, for four hours. The ripping acidity on the PnP has subdued and some fruit has come forward, so it's better in that respect. Not sure to drink-up the remaining two bottles or let'm gather dust...

Bigger nose this time and all other components came together. Blue black fruit with caramel and cocoa on the nose. Palate is more blue fruit and plum. Would have guessed zinfandel blind. Chalky finish is a bit distracting but this bottle is much better than previous.

Well made wine, direct, nice fruit and strong tannic finish. But not overly complex. May have drank too cold. Will have to reevaluate to see if it has more than shown this time around
