Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Decanted for 1.5 hours before dinner (grilled NY Strips). Medium red color with some sediment. Some gradation in color from rim to center. Beautiful nose. Dark cherry, menthol, sour cherry, rose petal. On palate, high acidity, full body and long finish. Tart cherry / dark cherry / touch of dirt flavor profile. Very nice. 92+
Unlike my note from 8/2010 (not unsurprisingly), this wines nose was beautiful upon opening.
