Uncorked for 1 hour, sweet nose, dark red fruits, a lot going on in this wine. Finish is lengthy, definitely a good wine to enjoy with grilled, fatty meat with assertive flavor. Well integrated tannins and a lot of life left. I need to follow this over a couple days to see what secondary flavors show up...
Vacuvin overnight in fridge
Day 2: poured after reaching temp of 60F and enjoyed with dinner. Secondary notes are more noticeable and fruit is balanced. Leather, spice, and oak. Food friendly (paired with peppered bacon, lettuce, garden tomato, avocado sandwich - BLAT). Plum on night 2 vs. Black cherry on initial open.
