2004 Ridge Oltranti-Day 2

Today's assessment of the Oltranti doesn't really change much from yesterday. The only major difference is that the "alcohol" flavor has certainly been reduced. The flavors of the wine still remain somewhat hidden but I am starting to get some true blending of black cherry, leather, and currants. No real spiciness can be detected at this point as the tannins continue to dominate this wine. I'll check again tomorrow in hopes of a brighter wine.
