  This can still age for a while , tannins are still pronounced. Decanted for 3 hours . Darker fruit flavors.

  My last bottle. In a really good place. Black fruit, strawberry, mint, cassis, a touch of herbal. The tannins have really softened with a smooth, long finish. Should hold for quite a few more years, not sure if it will get any better, but really good now.

  For the ~$70 I paid, this wine really punches above it's weight. Agree with other tasting notes on the unctuous-ness of it and the wonderful bouquet.
  
  Definitely requires a decant (I went for 3 hours) as it is throwing sediment like crazy. Tannins seem mostly resolved, which surprised me for what is still a pretty young wine. Drink now or hold, no need to wait.
