2nd (and last bottle). Wild, gamy aromas, with notes of red fruit, cherry, a hint of volatile acidity (not a bad thing) and something reminiscent of old flowers (also in a good way). Tannins are quite a bit more restrained and less aggressively grainy. Tastes almost salty and meaty. It's weirdly pretty and elegant despite how feral the aromas and flavors are. Cool to see this a few years later.

Completely clean palate, no Mourvedre funk, no brett. Palate is very round, no hard edges, supple, dark cherry and black fruits, no apparent tannins. Not much secondary development on the palate. Simple, but smoothly textured and enjoyable. With grilled filet mignon, in the Berkshires.

Fin balans. Jord och eldighet med lite röksmak i doft och smak.

Very interesting nose of smoked meat, leather, spice. There's something animalic about the aroma that reminds me of a grilled meat over a campfire.
Not much fruit on the palate. Woody, smoky, spicy come to mind. Extremely smooth tannins, moderate acidity and a good finish.
