What a fantastic bottle of wine. Really still a beast upon opening, but then after six hours of air, loads of blueberry and dried cherry, game and leather, silky smooth tannins, what a great tasting experience. Paired with grilled Colorado lamb chops, greek village salad, potatoes, and boiled greens.

Decanted for 2+ hours. A bit astringent and with some smokey undertones, but certainly not unpleasant. Enjoyed by all, but a little outside of my comfort zone.

2000 ARIETTA RED VARIATION ONE- 72% Merlot, 28% Syrah; “A wilder, crazier, growling kind of a wine,' admits winemaker John Kongsgaard”; well I`m not so sure about that, but this was certainly a study in leather; the nose seemed to be somewhat misleading with nice fruity notes, but that`s where the noticeable fruit ended as serious hits of leather are upfront and primary there after; there was some earthy, powered dirt, but more leather that just would not quit; past mid palate, the black currant notes dried completely out; I`m assuming we had a gross bottle variation.
