Yikes! This bottle is all over the map. Acidity that creates a noticeable harshness and strong tannins. Big, bold wine with nice black fruit. Nearly unpleasant as the tannins take center stage.
Day 2:
Smoothed out and reminds me of the first two bottles. Definitely will wait another year before opening another bottle. Needs a long decant!

perfect blend to match a variety of foods. We did this with a lamb roast.

consistent with previous notes. Drinking well with several years left.

Not as amazing as the previous bottles. Bottle variation?

Same as previous notes. Needs some air. Really nice wine that has some finesse and interest.
