Sunday, February 7, 2016 - From a bottle purchased on release, this wine had a red/purple center and red/orange rims. The medium intensity nose of mocha, blackberries, and soil.

I'm the mouth, this wine was ripe and round with rounded tannin and some length.

While the color of this wine suggests it will last for 10+ years, it is not clear to me it will be worth the wait. I am not detecting enough complexity to get me excited to cellar this further. While I could be wrong, I would suggest drinking with 4+ hours of air.
