Sunday, February 11, 2018 - This was an impulsive opening. I knew I should not have done it, but did it anyway. It was certainly tannic, the back end was more than a little austere and drying, but the aromatics kept pulling me back in. Red fruit, flowers, tar, herbs, earth, and a finishing hint of licorice made a very interesting and inviting tableau. The fruit carried into the mid palate, until it was buried under the wave of tannin. It was worth opening for the aromatics, but my remaining bottles will sleep for a long while.
