Tuesday, October 14, 2014 - Didn't really know what to expect, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. Bright blackberry, herbs, a touch of spice. Great acidity, little to no heat showing, some tannins still showing. Oak almost completely non-evident. This was a "food wine" in that it paired perfectly with our steaks and not quite as well on its own, as it was a bit angular (which is what I liked about it). Came off as quite youthful. I wish I had a few more bottles. I disagree that the fruit is fading, at least from my one data point. Very good.
