Monday, June 16, 2014 - Velvet texture - overtones of Brett and a touch of cork...leather, wet and damp earth floor. musty and brown rim variation. mushroom (porcini). Opened into mellow and blended cool herbal floral and soft. Brambleberry, raspberry, cherry cola (maybe root beer in a way). tree bark. Chalky finish and very masculine. St Estephe in masculinity here. Over 3 hours, darker prunes and hints of blue fruit, picked up darker berries but still lots of wet earth and mushroom. good solid acidity and oak balance. picked up for 40 bucks and probably worth that but not much more.
