Great wine. Decanted and let breath for two hours. Blueberry nose and various berry flavors with a sour cranberry jumping out. I recommend pairing with a big steak if drinking now as it’s still predominantly young in characteristics. There’s lot of time to go on this…at least seven more years, likely 10+.

Received partial bottle from my oenophile neighbor 14.5% abv
Dark Ruby red on the pour; semi-transparent in the glass. Fragrant nose of Blackberry, Cassis & some Cedar. Full-bodied, flavorful, yet not overly extracted. Blackberry, Red Currant and Chocolate notes on the palate. Smooth, nice mouth feel, yet tannins have a bit of a bite. A little mineral touch on the pleasant, lingering finish.

Superlative wine, rich, fruity with hints of tobacco and chocolate on the nose, and similar on the palate with stronger hints of chocolate smooth and with a long finish and very good body. Was terrific tonight with cheese enchiladas and coke slaw made with shredded broccoli.

This wine is awesome!!! Med high tannins. Needs to be decanted. Hints of stone, gravel, tobacco, dark fruit. After a bit the wine turns and mellows out. Cheers
