Day one (after 2 hours aof aeration): Quite developed colour, medium acid which is not not integrated and seemed to be added later, nice red fruits and good tannins give the whole wine a lift. Mediocre on the mid palate and as well a mediocre finish. Day two: Everything nicely integrated but quite floppy ultimately.
Pretty different appearance to my first tasting experience, actually a bit better, but still not convincing regarding the media hype and the price point.

Deep garnet. Closed at first. After 30 min it opens. Blueberry, boysenberries, dried strawberry - almost candied, licorice, dust and sweet smoke. Fresh acidity, soft tannins. Flavorful, dark berries, dusty licorice and a bit of sweetness. Deep and long. Only minus is a bit sticky alcohol. Otherwise very good and still going strong on day 2.

Deep mature dark fruit with herbal and balsamic notes. Concentrated and resolved tannins in balance. The fruit is on the sweeter raisiny side and the alcohol is there but not problematic if cooled down a bit to "cellar temp". It has definately become a better wine than I thought it was ever gonna be but I'm not wowed by any means. Its well made and plummy rich but I cant help feeling tricked.

just another poor showing. Thank god there´s only one bottle left.
This is an overpriced wine from a (INMHO) overrated producer.
