  Berry fruit, nice balance with acid, tannin, and high alcohol.

  Deep color with obvious musty, earthy, mushroomy ripasso nose. Either you like it or you don't, and I like it. Flavors are still austere with acids and tannins overpowering the fruit at this point. This wine requires patience.

  Has some dark black rasination to it. Better than in years past. Not VA and not lean, a little bit more fat, which works.

  This smells a little bit reduced, and the aromas are coming across a bit odd as a result, showing a rubber tire, tar, and a stale plum. Many of those off putting notes may blow off with air, but it was pretty awkward during the whole time we had the bottle open; a bit angular and funky. Pretty rich and darkly complected on the palate with nice texture. Finish is darkly complected with plums and blackberries the dominant fruit, a little bit of road tar, with just bits of acid on the end. Again some reductive, plummy notes throughout the flavors, too. The flavors are quite dark, overall, and I'm aweher1 with the coffee and chocolate note as well.
