  7/27/2013 - coyler Likes this wine:

  Visual: Dark maroon color that is semi-transparent, no signs of clouding, and bricking at the rim.
  
  Nose: Stewed meats, lots of secondary and tertiary aromas, pepper, and cinnamon
  
  Palate: Cherry fruit, stewed meats, a hint of baking spices and drying leather-like tannins that were perhaps too dry
  
  While the last bottle of this wowed me, this one disappointed. it was drank amongst great friends during a spectacular fireworks display at a private setting, but after dinner. It was good, but. Not at the Wow level. B/B+ on this wonderful night.

  A deep red, bricking out at the rim. A mature nose featuring leather, baked fruit, earth, enveloping a still vibrant core of good pinot fruit that becomes more alive with air. A soft mouthfeel and gently drying tannins form the structure. Rounding out the palate, more than a hint of tart cherry and secondary flavors. Great company to roasted rack of lamb.

  Once this opened up, it was firing on all cylinders. Great juicy fruit, good tannins and balanced acidity. Great secondary and tertiary notes. Very solid A! I can't wait for the next bottle!
