Popped and poured. Crimson-ruby colored. Lots of menthol and cherry upfront, a combo that reminded me a bit of young Barolo, joined by some cola and tarry aspects on the palate. A lot to like there. But it's a little hollow on the mid palate and still feels a little young and all over the place, like it might come around with a little more bottle age. 88 now, but the raw materials seem to be in place for some positive mid-term evolution. 88+.

Decanted it for an half an hour. Nice smooth wine with delicate tannins, nice acid. Expressive nose. Not bad at all.

I think I got a bad bottle...smelled like lake water. I drank it anyways and did not get sick. Who Knows.
