  Opened and decanted due to its young age and it was delightful. The aroma was lighter than expected given its deep color, but dark fruits and light oak imparted spices are present. On the palate this is well integrated already and fairly smooth mouth feel. The black fruits like blackberry and blueberry are front and center with several secondary flavors of spice and vanilla. Drinks well now with a decant and should be a nice drinker for several years.

  Deep, dark garnet in color, slightly opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, spices, tobacco, minerals & a slight hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks well at present with decanting & extended airing but it has the structure to develop further with additional aging.

  Put this wine away for another 5 years. So potent and tight. Needs more age.

  We drank this next to the 2016. The 2016 was drinking really well - lots going on and balanced. This one was really fruit forward and lacked a finish that made this memorable. I think in a year or two this could be better.
