Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - Purple center fading to a brick red rim. Nose begins with significant leather, sweet smoke, and some minerality. Followed by cedar, black cherry, slightly baked blue and dark fruit, slight moss, and dried thyme. Eventually, somewhat mushroomy, with a salty note of pyrezines. A bit of a decaying note. On the palate, body is medium-minus, alcohol is medium, and acidity is medium-plus. Blackberry and plum are followed by minerality, herbs, and tobacco. A fair amount of sweetness. Some notes of smoke and pepper on the long finish. Slight chalky tannins remain, which, along with the acidity, indicate much life left for this wine.
