Ok. First night I picked up some nice fruit on the palate and nose, but by night 2 it had rode it's course and wasn't very good. Should have finished the bottle the first night so I had good memories of this wine.

Plummy red fruit. At first, very earthy, almost charcoal-like, on the back end. That softens up after a bit, but still leaves a somewhat bitter aftertaste.

Deep violet revealed on edge of glass; dark fruited nose with modicum of tar and cedar/forest; nuances cloaked by tannins, but along with the grapes were notes of pepper and tar; more to be revealed in a few years. 50/4/12/15/8

The nose had a load of sweet cherry and earth aromas. It also had some pepper and raspberry, and just a little vanilla at the end. The palate had a good mix of damp earth and dark fruit. There was also some powdered chocolate in the middle, and it finished with a nice shot of pepper and oak.
