  This bottle was past prime. Tasted washed out. Bummer. I love Jaffurs Bien Nacido. Bought on auction so maybe not stored properly.

  In the window now. Deep cool climate Syrah characteristics. Throwing off loads of black licorice and pepper.

  Classic Bien Nacido. Smoked meats, clove, pepper, a little tapenade, sweet dark fruits. Higher acidity. More pepper notes emerge about two hours in. Just entering the drinking window. Initial hour decant, sings at about two hours in. Drink or hold.
  Day 2 update. Really settles in black raspberry notes evident. Great wine.

  Just coming around now, and improving markedly in the past year. Classic BN flavors of blackberry, Asian spicebox and a touch of bramble. Intense, yet delicate at the same time.
