Thursday, July 2, 2015 - I can always tell if a wine is drinking very well if my wife asks for a second glass, and then a third... She doesn't profess the be a wine expert but has a very good palate nonetheless. Popped and poured with a decanting pour spout. It showed a deep garnet color. Aromas of crushed stone, dried violet, cassis, blackberry and tobacco- nicely complex with a lot of secondary emergence. This has a striking creamy silky texture, and shows bright currant fruit, with layers of mineral, clove spice, black tea and cedar. Great complexity and elegance. Fine tannins. Very nice intensity of flavors on the finish. SM can take some time to come around- this is showing very well now, still very young for SM. Exceptional.
