  Tasted blind. Wow. Lots going on here. Smoke, leather, pepper, auto-repair shop / tire, maple-glazed bacon, juicy blackberry fruit, toasted popcorn. Perfectly aged -- the complex tertiary character really suits the grape! Defintely improves with time in the glass (if I had another bottle, i'd decant for at least an hour). Beautiful tannin, really nicely integrated. I guessed it to be some "rustic Italian wine" -- which I'll take as a win! Drink now and over the next few years.

  Tasting blind, I guessed high-end Napa cabernet or Bordeaux. This wine is way underappreciated. It is massive, with big but approachable tannins. It shows thick dark fruits and BBQ and game flavors.
