I am a bit surprised by the high scores recently. Not that this wine will not eventually arrive there, but my experience was much different. The bottle was decanted in the early afternoon and tasted throughout the day and evening with an inch left in the decanter after 8 hours. Still, it was stubbornly closed refusing to reveal much fruit, width or depth. Just wading into this vintage, but now I think must wait.

Purple color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of pepper, roasted meat, cassis and plum. Flavors of currants, black cherries and plums. Medium acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink now with air or continue to hold. Upside potential here I believe.

Heavy alcohol. Minimal complexity with a slight cherry.
