Summer, Shakespeare, and Wine; 7/4/2012-7/7/2012 (Ashland, Oregon): Deep and primary looking. Tight at first, dense licorice, musty and unyielding. A 2 hour decant released a cool wintergreen aspect, spice, perfume and black fruit. It relaxed, became lighter and opened into a chiseled, lean, nervy wine. Beautiful unfolding that transformed the mustiness into a whiff of game. Just shy of being something really special, but very young, energetic, outstanding wine on the verge of maturity.
