Sunday, September 4, 2011 - Opened and poured two glasses and allowed them to breathe and slow ox'd the rest of the bottle for a little over an hour.the nose showed tons of oaky spice with black fruit. Full bodied and loaded with cassis and mocha. Medium acidity here and some tannic structure, but not nearly what I was expecting. The fruit is in charge and does dry out slightly after a few hours of air.
Controversial wine, and yes very modern. Lots of quality, and while not a wine I'd drink regularly, it was great with flank steak and trimmings for dinner.
