Dusty cocoa, peppercorns, some dark fruit. Nice acidity and balance. Tannins took a long time to come out.
A little awkward at first on night 2, but after half an hour or so it's opening up again. Lots of cocoa, more than I've noticed in any wine before this.

Similar to last time. Tannins are fairly integrated at this point.

Pop and pour. Lovely cocktail wine with dark, intense, savory fruit and firm tannins. Powerful without being overpowering.

Tasty but one-dimensional Petit Verdot. Dark fruit, medium body, light acid and tannins. Wouldn't be the wine I would buy for $32.

Still fantastic! Deep dark color, sticks to the glass, and plenty of dark fruit flavors.

Very dry(true to the grape's personality) and went well with the Indian food.

Needs another year before opening the next bottle.
