Consumed on our cruise along with a M'Etain, Caymus SS, Cliff Lede Stags Leap and Myriad Three Twins. The Branding Iron was head and shoulders above the rest. Perfectly balanced with soft supple tannins. Still a lot of fruit on the palate, yet showing some age with it's secondary flavor development. I'll be moving these up in my drinking window as they are in a really really good spot.

Decanted for an hour before drinking. Rich berry, tobacco, spice notes. Tannins are velvety smooth. Great wine

This is a serious bottle with amazing flavors. Dry, dark, cherry and savory. Got better after hour 2.
