either flawed or needs more time...a bit of a stewed funk on the noise that feels like contanmination....never really opens, disjointed...very syrupy and tannic. will let open over a longer window and retest.
won't open any more bottles until 2030.

(Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard) Very dark ruby color; lovely, lifted, cassis, blackberry nose; elegant, black currant, blackberry, tart black fruit palate; needs 3-4 years; medium-plus finish

Drinking very well and should hold up for another 2-3 years. Velvet smoothness.
