June 17, 2016 - Decanted for one hour which was optimum. Plenty of dark fruit, well balanced, full bodied, and soft tannins.

August 18, 2014 - Initial notes of vanilla and white chocolate, with flavors on the tongue to match. After an hour, the palate morphed into mocha and astringent blackberry. Firm tannins, light "Napa" graphite, bright acidity. Requires big entrees as a complement.
