Sunday, October 10, 2010 - ** (when mature)
Really, really tough. No letup even after several days open. Much too young. Should be interesting, likely very interesting, in two (?) years.
7/2011:
Much better. Tannins still not completely resolved, but OK. Interesting wine.
11/2012:
Still pretty tough, but opens up a bit in about 30 min. Interesting, raisins, black fruit, spice. Let it sleep!
12/22/2017:
Fully mature now, and very nicely smoothed out. Dark and a bit thick but interesting, lots of dark fruit.
12/24/17:
Consistent with previous bottle.
9/17/18:
Consistent again. This has definitely matured, some secondary notes are showing, and they are quite interesting. Held up well under vacuvin for about four days.
3/5/22:
Consistent. Nice wine, but not super.
