  May 13, 2014 - Opened nicely. Young, was really different in every taste....but good.
  
  At end of last glass, wish I let it breath more.
  
  Will be a big wine with time. Nose was plain. Best flavors were cherry & licorice. Satin finish.

  March 26, 2014 - A somewhat confusing nose this time around. Over ripeness (fig) with some dusty cherry and minerality. Just opened, might calm down. Indeed it is.
  
  Palate is more classic, solid drive and cut across the mid, ending in a firmness. A good showing. Works it out at $40, we will see how it opens up.
