December 10, 2010 - September 09 bottling. Decanted 1 hour. Light purple. Monster nose of red currants, prunes, strawberries, meat, leather and white chocolate. Wow, this is enticing! The mouth is more closed and mineral showing crispy acidity and very thirst-quenching. It may need a bit more time for the palate to open up but you need cool temperatures to store this wine. What impressed me about it was the lack of stinky aromas which I have tasted before in non-sulfur wines, this has real purity. This was my first wax-sealed bottle and I must admit to being an amateur at removing the wax. I tried cutting it away with the blade of the corkscrew which was messy and will try chipping away at it with a light tack hammer next time...
