  This has not improved, similar notes as prior tasting and the alcohol heat is more pronounced.

  Fruity, as you would expect. I get quite a bit of alcohol heat on the mouth and it would be generous to say it's pepper/spice. Keep very cool and it does take the edge off. Decant well. Notes of earth, mineral and nice oak influence with a long finish.

  Winebid special, and well worth the small price of admission. Day 1, this was pretty tightly wound. Nose was solid with blueberries, pepper, and allspice, but not a ton on the palate.
  
  Day 2, this is better all around. Flavors have fleshed out and there's a good integration of the blue fruits, spice, and acidity. Medium + body and the aromatics are still strong.
  
  I probably prefer what Mike O does with his vineyard but this was a very enjoyable wine that I'm glad I had the pleasure of trying. Drink over the next 2 years
