  Consumed over two nights—
  
  Texturally the wine was pretty harmonious. The tannins felt integrated and there was acidity on the back end. I can see what the Walls Walls funk is now—the nose consistently gave off olive brine, iron, and spicy meat. The palate added some fruit—mostly blue and blackberries—but not enough to counterbalance the savory elements. While the wine was interesting, unique, and completely enjoyable, I can’t help but think it would have been better a few years ago when the fruit felt fresher. Drink up—

  Decanted for an hour. Talk about a 2010 that has started to mature and is rounding into shape. Expressive nose with aromas of spices, earth, woodsmoke, dark fruits. Seamless transition in a palate loaded with dark plums, currants, blackberries, five spice, and meat drippings. Start drinking 'em if you got 'em. 95 pts.

  Raising score by a point. Absolutely seamless, forever finish, lovely style. Compared to '10 The Unnamed, which was excellent, but had less exquisite finish.
  
  8/19/2017 note: met my very high expectations, 93 pts.
