Patience and Protein.
Upon opening, this is a tannic beast. Decanted 1/2 hr or so. But... the sausage w Swiss chard and Marcella’s tomatoe sauce over polenta brought out its beauty.
N: Tar, underbrush, cola, roses, iron, dank minerality.
P: Really needs protein. Dark fruits, long,
Not rich but sappy, snappy finish. Pine forest, black cherry.
