Purchased at the winery. I've been hoping this would improve with time open, but no such luck: it is intransigent. Notes from day 3 open. Loads of heat and oak: vanilla, blueberry, toast. On the palate: ok acidity, loads of spice and density and a slightly sloppy hot finish, with loads of grainy tannin. For my palate, this has little varietal character. It's possible with lots of bottle age the fruit and oak will marry to produce something interesting, but the heat and simultaneous lack of acidity suggest this wine might devolve before that happens. IMO drink now if you want a heady cocktail wine.

Pop and pour. Much more open than I expected. On the nose: blackberry, cola, olive brine, soft game, violets. On the palate: lovely acidity, red fruit, hi-toned, lightweight, but good density.. Nice tang on the bright finish, which shows soft tannin. Loads of potential. — 5 days ago

Final btl. Unscrewed on the 17th, notes from the 19th. Just stunning on days 1 and 2 and far and away the best showing I've had for this wine. Very mild signs of oxidation on day 3 open (unrefrigerated on the counter overnight in between). On the nose: black tea, dried strawberry, wet leaf, spice. On the palate: fantastic acidity, wild strawberry, earthy herbals, with a touch of decay/oxidation and the softest hint of tannin on the finish. Absolutely lovely. — 8 days ago

Crap. Wanted to bring up the 15 after looking at when I had this last, put it down to grab a red, and I guess I forgot to exchange. Oh well. Stunning. — 5 days ago
