  Opening something from a dark, forgotten corner of the cellar. Dark brick-ish red color. Very faint nose at first, but wakes up in the glass after warming slightly from cellar temperature. Nose is primarily red cherry and eucalyptus. Not fully in harmony with itself on the palate, with a bit of a tart mineral quality presenting itself over the red pit fruits.

  Not as good as the last bottle, took awhile to open up.

  Very nice, well aged flavors. Opened up rather quickly. Drink up, will probably start to decline soon.

  Has matured into a very nice Vino Nobile. Still needed a 2 hour decant, after which it developed some nice cherrt and leather notes. A slight rough alcohol edge mars it a bit. This could keep for awhile.

  Decided to just pop this w/meatloaf based on mixed reviews here, dark fruited with minty-licorice notes and definitely a bit disjointed/angular on Day 1 despite an hour+ decant, but seemed to have lurking potential underneath. Day 2 the fumes blew off and it opened up considerably, with a much more balanced profile, strong minty-eucalyptus whiffs and added mocha dimensions on a more rounded, less tannic finish - 86 - 89 range.
