  Am returning to this bottle nearly 24 hours after opening and I didn't make observations yesterday beyond knowing I liked it. That said, the wine is drinking great right now.
  
  Not especially aromatic but a good nose all the same, deep color with a beautiful crystal clarity around the rim. Acid hits first with a good bit of pucker, a viscous wine with real body. As you ride the acidity out dark fruits reveal and the flavors linger. A true mouthfull of fruit with a seriously purple tongue after only a few sips. Soft agreeable tannins eventually appear to prolong those lingering flavors.

  Proper, gamey nose... no body no length.
