Mostly black fruit, moderately mature. Lots of rugged tannins give a slightly bitter edge, which softened slightly after open an hour+. Doubt there is any upside.

Had a nice nose and first taste of fruit but not enough in the end to balance the strong tannins. Astringent finish that didn't agree with me. I wonder if we opened this bottle a bit late.

Like the 07 Estate simultaneously consumed, a bit too syrupy. Wonder if I drank too early. Tasted more California than Oregon.
