Deep ruby in the glass with violet hues. Not decanted, but definitely needed some air. Big nose of black berry fruit, some stems, some espresso notes. Full-bodied with ripe tannins and high acidity. Not overly extracted, but has some really good power. Wonderful varietal expression as well. Could've used a longer finish, but all in all, nice wine.
