This bottle is drinking really well tonight standalone post meal. Nicely layered nose showing dark fruits, earth, crushed rocks, graphite, eucalyptus, coconut, chocolate, walnuts, and herbs, namely dill. Really nice. Medium body, acid, and finish, with a pretty nicely balanced constitution, and flavors of dark red and black fruits, lemon, chocolate, walnut, and spices.

1st of 4. Medium ruby to garnet color. Aromas of dark and dark red fruits, licorice, cedar, cinnamon, bark, and a little floral, eucalyptus, and graphite. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with flavors of plum, black cherry, black raspberry, black tea, and orange peel. Really solid Al fresco tonight with burgers off the grill.

Powerful wine, lots of black cherry, lavishly oaked but not overpowering. Doesn't have the depth or plush texture I really like but it's a well made wine.

No time to decant so popped and poured. Purple as night. So young and bold. Black currants, tar, black truffles, and meat on the nose. Rich, youthful, vigorous, and very primary. Obvious structure and tannin. Fresh wintergreen on the long finish. Well made but needs time to come together. Decant or send it to the hole for a year.

Flavors rush out and then settle in. Great subtle oaks and dark as a July Florida night - was crowd favorite
