Drinking really well right now. Has mellowed out a bunch, and will likely be even better in 1-2 years. Decanted about an hour. Tannins have softened a bit and are not overpowering, but they are still there giving the wine structure. Huge fruit. Dark / black cherry. Massive vanilla on the nose that lasts through the long long finish. Fun wine.

Drinking really nicely right now but needed 2+ hours to open up. Better on day two. Huge fruit - Black cherry. Tinges of vanilla.

Drinking well right now. Mellow tannins. Lots of fruit. Ripe blueberries, dark chocolate.
