  Heavy tannins on first night. Mellowed and smoother on second day.

  Super dry tannins with not much else going on. Wish the fruit were still coming through to even out all this dry slate.

  Decanted out some weird suspended sediment that didn’t seem quite right. More savory, earthy, and masculine than the 2009 Cotta. I’m not sure it was a pristine bottle. But assuming it was, I’d prefer it with a couple more years to integrate though I’m not sure what the fruit will have to say by then. 2020-2024.

  Lots of fine sediments.. needs a good decant.
  Heat on the nose, with red berry fruit, sour cherries. Slightly oaky and still young but seems to be coming out of its shell.
  High acidity, massive tannins.. the oak is a bit too present.
  Fruit is bright and tasty.
