An elegant wine featuring some bacon, smoke, and a hint of blackberries on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced, fine tannic structure, good minerality, savory. Does not need much aeration at this point. Promises to last for a few years longer. Beautiful!

This wine has improved since I last tried it. The cork crumbled as I pulled it out, but I was able to use some tea filter bags to salvage the bottle. The tartness has faded somewhat, and the chocolate and coffee overtones remain after some airtime. This is not overwhelmingly gamey, but definitely some hints. May benefit from a little more time in the bottle.

This last bottle turned. The nose was all stewed fruit and stewed tomatoes. Not drinkable.

I have never seen a cork disintegrate like this before -- it completely crumbled. Needless to say, the wine was corked. So sad.

Finally in a drinking window and this was my last bottle. Still very astringent but beginning to come into balance.
