Rich dark fruit on the nose with a surprising burst of minerality and acid on the pallet. The nose is out of this world, but the pallet screams for need of food which I don't have in front of me at the moment. We'll see how the second half of the bottle does tomorrow with food. 2nd day: this wine does really improve with food--it's right where I thought i'd be. The acidity cuts through olive oil and the food makes the mineral and fruit characters pop.

Took this to my favorite local Italian restaurant, and it stacked up well against all the rich, delicious food. My memory is foggy, but I remember saying "this is delicious!" many, many tmies
