Opened this last night because I felt like something with a bit more fruit. And I was mistaken. After popping and pouring, this was a viciously tannic wine that was incredibly tight and completely closed up. Hard as nails on the finish. Tonight, after an extra day or cellartime in its bottle, nothing much has changed. On the one hand, I am thinking this will turn out great in 5-10 years, on the other, I wonder if the strong tannins will ever tame enough to make this wine harmonic. I guess only time can tell.

I am not a professional wine taster, nor do I have any professional training in the wine trade. I am a wine enthusiast who has spent countless hours tasting wines of many different styles. My palate is not aligned with a single wine critic, and I call all wines "as I taste them". My site is a source of tasting notes and wine recommendations as well as warnings without conflict of interest. You'll just have to figure out how your palate aligns with mine. My palate generally tends to veer towards Old-World wines that put a premium on terroir and lovely balance and finesse, rather than raw power...please keep that in mind as you read my notes.
