In der Nase schwarz-blaue Beeren, exotische Würze, Menthol, rauchige Noten vom Holz. An Gaumen für meine Verhältnisse mit eher verhaltener Säure, in der Anmutung durchaus kühl, üppig, reife und dunkle Frucht, druckvolles und intensives Extrakt, mineralische Würze, das kreidig und schokoladige Tannin ist vollständig integriert. Hält lange nach, es mangelt vielleicht ein wenig an Struktur. Ein hedonistischer Wein, der in großen Schlucken genossen werden will. Das alles bei noch akzeptablen 13.8%.

You want a Barolo of modern style, sweet, easy-drinking, fruit-forward, non-offensive, and nondescript? You have found your match. Ideally, pair it with a well-done steak, followed by a decaf espresso.

Winebar [Various Reds] for 12/16/16 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Plummy, cedar box, poss tobacco? Very interesting, & may have intensity lurking; With air, some earth

P: MF, poss F, body; Almost swtish frt up front, astringency taking over mid palate; Long, dustily tannic finish, but sans harshness. While likely approachable now with food, I'd think this would benefit from 3 yrs or so of cellaring, at which time it might wind up being a STEAL! (Interestingly, with considerably more air on the tasting glass, there was markedly less body -- certainly no more than Med. So, maybe NOT 3 yrs of cellaring? [As I've precious little Bordeaux experience, IF anyone can shed some light on this... ]) The winery's web site has LOTS of press on this. The following, however, is from a vendor's web site: WS 89-92 pts, WE 91, WA 88-90, & Tanzer 90.

Light, floral, high toned fruit, delicious. Suspect this will deepen in a few years.

Note that second day was less enjoyable…weak acid and tannins. What does this imply for the future?
