PnP and drank over dinner. Some initial balsamic and funk notes, along with faint brett blew off after 20 min.
Chocolate ganache, blackberry, a bit of bramble. This bottle did not knock my socks off and was borderline disappointing. I may start earlier consumption as my aged Kamens have been on a cold streak of late.

Drank over 3.5 hours. Just the right amount of fruit with lots of chocolate, cloves, dust, and tobacco notes. Pretty light on its feet, hints of mint with fine cocoa powder and sweet oak. Ripe tannins on nice long finish.
Been a couple of years since trying one of these......pnp'd and it was quite good with big upfront fruit and excellent integration all around. A few hours in, it seems to smooth out further and drink even better. Dark raspberry/blackberry fruit throughout and it gets darker as the night goes on. A very good and fascinating wine. Better with 2-3 hours of air. Amazing balance here. Probably my personal WOTN tonight.

Incredible wine. Silky, smooth, complex, dark fruit profile. Long finish. Amazing now, but still has many more years of life in it.
