Does not like this wine:

75 Points

Monday, December 4, 2023 - This is a difficult wine to analyze. Both the nose and the mid-palate were all over the place. I drank this wine with spaghetti, red sauce, undecanted. I am not about 90 minutes into the bottle. The bottle initially had a pleasant nose of slight chocolate, prominent plum, and not much on the light palate. I found that over the first hour, the notes were constantly evolving, and the mid-palate was gaining weight. A hint of smoke, or no, maybe some cardamom, with emerging tar. Finally, I thought the wine was finding it's identify. Just as quickly as it was starting to come together, the wine shifted into an awkward sort of amalgam of overly acidic puckering something. This wine was never really harmonious or charming, and ask I type this, I sense the fruit is dropping out. For me, this bottle doesn't work on any level.
