  Mushroom and smoky nose. Well integrated palate with the right balance of acid and tanin. Savory flavors with black cherry still present. Perfect with a mushroom risotto

  90 minute decant, lows 60s F. This wine is showing much better than it did 7 years ago. Light garnet color. Raspberry fruit, smoke, a touch of barnyard, earthy mushrooms on the nose. Lightly velvety tannins, well integrated alcohol and oak, light pleasant acidity. Raspberry, strawberry, tobacco on the palate, with dark chocolate and cinnamon notes making brief appearances. Long spicy finish.

  I share the consensus: very good; dense; long enough; improves with a bit of air.
  
  But its solemn persona! Don't get me wrong ... it certainly shows up (and we all know, that's more than half the battle) ... and everyone knows he's got a lot going for him, but <heavy sigh>.
  
  Not that he came to weep or draw some kind of attention--there's no flair for drama here--more like handsome, preppy even, and muscular. But the collar of his polo is up, and that defense is quietly self-conscious. The conversation is good (and for some, attractive, even memorable!); and the laughs are sincere. He really does put on a good face. And a real athlete can't be faulted for an ol’ college try.
