Vanilla and black fruit aromas develop upon opening the bottle and pouring the first glass. By itself, there's something wrong with the finish, it dies with an odd bitter note, one that I've never experienced. Perhaps this has to do with what Wine Spectator complained about with bottle variation in this particular vintage.
SECOND DAY: Vanilla and black fruit aromas are still present; with a little air, its had a chance to mellow, but the fruit still pops and the tannins have grip, but for the most part, the funky finish follows. I wonder how this wine would've tasted a couple years ago, perhaps it's beyond its peak.
