Dinner at l'Artusi 6/28/2011 (l'Artusi): Bricking deep blood, surprisingly dark. Nose full of iron, strawberries, and a hint of couture leather. Palate shows a little oxidation not found on the nose. Palate big, tannic, and rich; fine acidity; quite masculine. Medium length. Good wine, but drink. B/B+

Beautiful nose, leather, funky earth and fresh strawberries. The palate shows bright but focused acidity that combines with the fresh red fruits on the palate, wrapping the tongue in flavor. Primarily flavored with it's red fruit but carries tremendous length on the finish. Still young and fresh feeling, strong but un-cloying acidity and balanced tannins. I was really digging this, it was extremely delicious.

Initially quite stemmy and herbal. This seemed to settle down with airing. Excellent fruit and depth. Complex for it's weight.
