Descriptions, Ratings & Tasting Notes
Initially quite dark, cool, and tight, this quickly blossomed into a rustic and highly expressive nose with blueberry, dusty leather, black cherry, some game meat, and terrific spice. Quite stemmy. Remains a little tight. Palate is refined and fresh. Some less pleasant sour cherry towards the end. Good, if less than amazing, hard to say whether this has peaked or if it will gain anything else.
The intitial traces of secondary development add nuance to the otherwise still very fresh aromas of spicy red and blue pinot fruit sprinkled with earth and a hint of animale which precedes the delicious, intense and moderately powerful medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a robust and lingering finish. The supporting tannins are clearly softening though for my taste, I would allow this to continue to slumber in the cellar for another 3 to 5 years.
