Oct 2nd, 2016This one threw me for a loop. Olives on the nose and plum fruit on the palate. Very heavy mouthfeel, fat and smooth on night one - almost no tannins came through. Monochromatic; without the acid it was hard to have more than a glass. Night two much more tannic and coarse. Not sure what to make of it.
