Really enjoyed this wine. Dominant black cherry flavours which I like. Still dark, almost black, with some tannins so I believe this wine will continue to evolve. I am looking forward to my next bottle.

1 hr decant. Nice nose of black and blue fruits with some vanilla and spice. The palete has a nice mix of cassis and blueberries with toasted oak which moves onto a little mocha and a long dark fruit and earthy finish. Well balanced with chewy tannins that add to the experience.

Last bottle. Seems to be fading a bit. I would drink up.

Vanilla, spice on the nose, intense; dark fruit with amazing structure and balance of soft tannins on finish
