Drank at home by the fire with hard cheese and nuts. At first blush, straight out of the bottle it had an attractive nose and perhaps was a little harsh for the first few sips though still tasty. However, either it or I mellowed over the evening and it was quite delicious.

Single vineyard. Pretty, dark red fruits on the nose - cherry, licorice, talcum powder. On the palate - fairly strong and bitter; simple but has some material here. Feels extracted despite the pretty nose. 84-86

Svd; pretty dark red fruits on the nose, cherry licorice, talcum powder. Fairly strong and bitter, simple but decent with some material. Nose is really kind of pretty but feels overextracted. 84-86
