  -- pulled cork 30 minutes before first taste; no decant --
  -- tasted non-blind over approx. 7 hours --
  
  NOSE: deep; brooding; dark; dark red fruit aromas; hints of leather and minty crushed rocks; a touch floral; complex, but quite reserved right now; closed-up about 6 hours after opening.
  
  BODY: striking magenta-garnet color of medium depth; medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: nice acidity; fine tannins are strong and quite drying; pleasurable mélange of earth, leather, plum, black cherry, and dried herbs; a touch austere; 13% alc. is not noticeable; hot heavy; medium to medium-long finish of moderate intensity; needs a couple to few years of cellar time, but it may lack the concentration of fruit to age well over the long term; more ’08 in style than ’09; good QPR at ~$30.
  
  B: 50, 5, 12, 15, 7 = 89

  Light ruby color, beautiful expressive nose of cherry and raspberry with a undercurrent of mushroom and forest floor. Light bodied, with non-fruit aromas more apparent in the mouth and a 20 second finish.
