This bottle was very closed down. It didn’t show more than a hint of fruit until it was in the decanter overnight. A different experience than the last bottle- Will plan for a very long, perhaps overnight decant,

This only continues to get better. Nose slightly muted wi to hint of eucalyptus. Smooth, complex, silky, and tannins well integrated. Notes of cocoa, chocolate, and a lingering finish. This last bottle was the best. The fruit has mellowed. Sipped slowly over 1-2 hours and continued to evolve.

This wine was just singing on this night. In a Perfect window for my taste, showing complicating secondary notes on the nose with still maintaining some vibrancy of its youth. Eucalyptus, cassis, and graphite on the nose. All parts come together on the palate, fruit tannin and acid in harmony. Still has significant structure to age a number of years ahead, but delicious now with one hour of aeration.

Lovely floral bouquet. Hint of eucalyptus. Deep dark red nearly black. Medium tannins. Dark fruit flavors. Medium+ finish.
