Tim brought this wine to share with us for dinner. No notes taken, and this is written three days later, so this is the best I can do. Cork was damp near to top. Initially, lovely aromas of earth, developing spicy fruit with aeration. Wonderful complexity over the course of about an hour. Solid palate showed firm acidity and lovely red fruit. The only knock is that it seemed to fade fairly fast in the glass, and after a couple of hours became quite astringent -- but the first hour it was terrific! Overall a very nice wine, and a real pleasure.

Secondary bordering on tertiary, and an utterly appealing and enjoyable drink.
