  Drank blind with the Xtremos tonite. Brown edges, light color otherwise. Medium body, medium acidity, doesn't taste as hot as its 15% would indicate. There's some sour cherry fruit here but very much overshadowed by tertiary elements: mushrooms, earth, leather and stewed prunes. Not a fave of mine, particularly due to the off-putting finish of ash and smoke. The wine shows/tastes much older than it should. Some, including me, found this wine to be over-the-hill. Hence no rating this time

  3/29/2016 - Oratorian Does not like this wine:

  I made the mistake of not decanting this wine. Lots of sediment that just would not then settle. So it's hard to write a fair note.. That said, it was obvious that it was still very tannic. Overall impression, not well balanced.
