Briney, stringent, not peppery.....then let it breath. Mellow dark fruits finally set in stringency gives way to small metallic after thought, ferrous-mineral tone. — 9 years ago

Wow! How this is rated so low is a testament to differential tastes. I love the flat flora and fruity notes that immediately attack the sweet centers on the tongue. But like a well aged or oxidized wine...leaves something to imagine after..both good and bad...and in this case slightly to the negative. Brilliant first tastes but mulled and chromed after tasted after repeated glasses. Great if you are sharing this bottle. You don't want to keep tasting it. The first note is the pinnacle! My rating in based one one glass.....no more should anyone take. It's done. — 9 years ago

Not enough age. Leave it open for 12 hours or so and the extreme bright notes that curl your eyelids mellow....but who wants to wait 12 hours — 9 years ago
