    October 3, 2017 - -- popped and poured --
    -- tasted non-blind over 2.5 hours --

    NOSE: dark fruited; reserved; some tertiary aromas coming into play now.

    BODY: dark violet-garnet color with some bricking throughout; medium bodied.

    TASTE: medium+ acidity; very fine tannin; purple fruited with a moderate oak note; medium-light leather aspect, with hints of mineral and spice; alc. is just barely noticeable; this is definitely "big" and far from "graceful," but it is good; I'd be willing to bet this is in its prime drinking window right now. gut impression score of 89 – 90, despite a "bigness" or "lack of typicity" that will turn some off.

    September 17, 2017 - Sweet cherry fruit and pretty floral and earthy tones make for a delicious drink. It is showing worlds better than a year and a half ago. Good time to drink it. Fun wine.

    February 10, 2017 - No detailed notes. Started out with a slight awkwardness on the pop, but wow....what a transformation over 30 minutes in the glass. Aromatic and perfumed on the nose, with a hint of sweet leather and wood. On the palate, rich fruit and lush mouthfeel. Balanced, with remaining structural components in the background. I don't see any reason to hold these based on the way it's drinking today. 92+ points.

    April 4, 2016 - Maturing color and very pretty aromas when it went into the decanter. But in the 20 minutes of warming from cellar temperature, it hardened up. Pretty aromas changed and the palate was a bit drying with a rusty nail background that tells me something has been lost. This was okay, but I swear this producer always over-extracts and tries to make too much out of mediocre grapes. Could have used some restraint. I suspect that the hardness is outlasting the pretty stuffing.
