Very good bottle. Beautiful nose of red fruit, almonds, a little forest floor. Some acidity left and almost resolved tannins. Drink sooner rather then wait.

Spicy nose, also with lost of almond paste, and the longer its open, the dirtier it gets. Like a funky armpit. Really not a whole lot of complexity the nose (though it is powerful), as the almonds dominate. Very soft mouthfeel, light bodied, with bright fruit on the mid-palate. Instant hit of a dirty woodsy berry on the finish, but definitely primarily funk. I had high expectations for this bottle, and overall it's fairly disappointing. Just not very complex. The second day it was showing a bit more strawberry on both the nose and finish.
