At Estes park with SHs. Not quite as impressive as first CV taste. More on the bright fruit nose with hints of sweetness than savory notes. Travel shock?

Aug 9th, 2017CVed 7/8/17. Deal from Acker auction $20. Great gamey and eucalyptus and dark red fruit and leather nose. Good balance and acids and minerals on palate and long finish. Coated empty glass with earthy smell for long time. Will get more of other vineyards. 170 cases. CVed again 8/17/17. Tasting better than in the Rockies! Nose send to have more of the leather and tobacco box notes and more heat than the Rhone wines in the comp. Give it 9.0 this time. Opened 2/13/18. Yes indeed an excellent wine. Same score.

Jul 9th, 2017Pallet staining but still brilliant with brooding raspberry, eucalyptus, juniper...strongly herbal base with plenty of fruit to balance. Seems to be at peak.
