  This was the best showing of this wine I think.
  
  I gave it 4-5 hours in the decanter and let it come to room temp per previous notes.
  
  It exhibited blood mineral and suave umami cherry play not unlike good pinot from further north.

  this bottle showed better than previous one. lots of minerals at play and ample fruit still. good wine and we decanted it a bit as it liked air.

  served too cold but it was generally too high acid (almost VA like) and didn't have the fruit or structure to match. have a few more so i will serve those at room temp and hopefully they will be more interesting.
  
  EDIT: removing score. this showed decently at room temp on second night after sitting on kitchen counter.

  Popped and poured. Fragrant red fruit aromas with a little barnyard. Tart cherry flavors, which become fuller and richer, with some candy notes, in the finish. Very closed at first, much more open at the half hour mark. Well structured, interesting, and a bit mercurial. Outstanding wine at this p;rice.
