3hrs after decanting there’s smoke and earth on the nose. Like my last tasting, it comes across a little shallow, with well-balanced tannins front palate but a disappointingly brief finish.
I’d hope this develops and adds weight w time, but I don’t have enough experience w this property to really know.

Coravan’d a large glass day one and then uncorked the remaining 4/5 of the bottle the following day.
Tight wine definitely needs time to open up and I didn’t give it enough time. These notes are three hours after a double decant. Leather, cigar,, dark fruit and Cassis; While the flavors are fairly well integrated, the tightness becomes evident in the back palate finish. Certainly drinkable and enjoyable, it just needs more time and clearly has the ability to rise well above tonight‘s rating.

Still young and quite tannic. Oak dominated with rich red fruits. Great potential but not now. Will try my next bottle at least 2 to 3 years later.

Inky black color. Nose of blueberry and blackberry. Slight mushroom and smoke with blueberry and a finish of vanilla
