earthy, dust floral nose. much better when it has time to breathe. very long finish of smoke, licorice, dark fruits, tobacco, spice. medium body. much better than I remembered. had this 6 months ago and it has improved.

Thursday Night 5 for $5 (The Grapevine - Pocatello, ID): Dark ruby/garnet with moderate nose of earth and barnyard, a bit tight. Light to medium body with lively/fresh acid, high soft tannins, and earth, dirt, mushroom, wood, and pepper on the palate. A bit hot. Medium length finish. Very nice complexity and balance. Very enjoyable.

Earth, funk and beautiful bright fruit. Nice long, smoke and spice finish. I love that brett/mourvedre nose.

distinctive quaff - very southern france - dusty chalky burnt earth - surprisingly light - thus the lower score, but hoping it gets better tomorrow.
