a bit of bricking along the edges, some sediment. First smell/taste was all leather and dust. As it opens a bit more dark red fruit comes through in the nose. Slightly bitter on the finish. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like dust, hazelnut, nutmeg, coffee, toast, sandalwood and fig. It tastes like fig, plum, cherry, mushroom, meaty, walnut and chocolate. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Was a hit with beef brisket dinner at Sharon’s house. We toasted to Scott who passed away 40 days earlier and loved Dariush. A total crowd pleaser and still drinking well! Cork broke upon opening. Otherwise an awesome experience.
