  At the open
  Smells of mildew, cold bright red fruits, rain, and other classic Burgundy flavors.
  Tastes of light red fruits + textured earth. Slightly disjointed.
  
  80 minutes later (this was excellent after 20 minutes)
  Smells of darker fruits and simple earth (overall very faded)
  Tastes of smooth simple medium bright red fruit and minerals, showing a slight unexpected chewy factor. Simple classic old world Burgundy.
  Medium bodied.

  Was a freshly shod thoroughbred. A little sweaty and meaty with some notes of iron from the farriers nails and some recently applied liniment. As it breathed there were notes of quarter horse and pony. To be fair to the wine it did show some nice sweet fruit but the bret was a little much.
