Friday, September 20, 2013 - Day 1: Dark berry nose with a healthy dash of oak spice. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Mix of ripe and tart plum and berry fruit, more body and intensity than I expect for this level. Some chalky tannin and a long tart finish. Nice but a bit disjointed with a very tart finish. Benefits from air and probably a couple of years in the bottle. 87
Day 2: Gassed and left half bottle overnight. Similar impression but components better integrated. 88
