Pasaeli K2 CS70CF20 Izmir, Turkey 2011 tasted 11/17 Musty dark nose, lots of oak, some faint green/menthol maybe from the cab franc. Not very attractive overall. Palate is way too much on the oak, it's everywhere, and oddly integrated as the wine has this espresso bitterness to the finish. Decanted 2hr.. Nothing palatable. Day 2 wine still way over oaked, weird tannins, bitter finish. I really wanted to like this wine, but even the 11 needs way more time. I don't understand this palate, I shared it with some people too they disliked it. 75-80 pt effort.
I'd love to know why I'm wrong. Are people tasting this bitter tannin stuff goin on? Is this intended? Is this meant to age 10 years?

2011 tasted 12/17 Very tannic obviously, very dark and rough. It's not too oaky, even after 2 days it kept a strong tannin structure. No complexity going on, very one note. Where is the real madiran in Florida?
