Saturday, March 19, 2016 - Off the wine list at Heritage in Omaha, decanted immediately and consumed over 2 hours. Nose: Medium plus expressiveness, black and blue fruit - black berry and blueberry, Asian spice, tobacco, and leather. Palate: Medium-full bodied, spicy blue and red fruit attack - blueberry and raspberry, good acidic balance through the mid-palate, tobacco and earthy notes balance the the up front fruit and spice. Finish: Youthfulness shows on the back-end through the finish as gripping tannins dominate which shorten the finish noticeably. Given time, 5+ years, this should be drinking marvelously, though it is quite enjoyable now.
