Monday, August 31, 2015 - Splash decant. Opened nicely over the following hour or two. Lifted bouquet showing cassis and some spice wood notes. Silky red fruit mid-palate, tannins nicely integrated, an interesting backdrop of cedar hints and minerality. Good length.
This is drinking very well now and I expect is just starting a long plateau. Paired very well tonight with roast chicken but this is also sufficiently light (in a relative way and in the good sense of the term) that this could also be enjoyed on its own.
