February 16, 2014 - Tasted after 8+ hour slow O. Thick, resinous nose of sweet, dark fruits, oak, and earth - in that order. Full bodied with a rather soft mouthfeel, the tannins are integrated and the acid just barely keeping the wine in check. Palate caresses and coats the tongue with honey, maple syrup, cardamon, nutmeg, plums, blackberries, and black licorice. Not certain of what to think, there are elements that I like, I think if there was more acidity to make the flavors pop, and a little more structure to give the flavors a space - then this wine is a home run. That could probably be said of more than a few wines, I guess I just wanted to like this wine more than I did. If I had any cellared, I'd definitely check in on the evolution this wine soon to see how it is aging.
