My notes are almost identical to AAGrawal's. I'll add that I'm getting a balsamic note towards the back that is interesting. I prefer the Bual but this is also terrific.

Decanted about 1.5 hours and drank for 2 after that. Beautiful nose. A little stemmy. Scared me a bit. Fruit, a little meat, pretty. The palate is really open and beautiful. Full fruit. Like bright dark fruit if that makes sense. And it has this sweet meat note, like the middle of a med. rare filet. Like sweet iron? My wife said it didn't have enough fruit for her. I was concerned it wouldn't have enough for me, but a welcome surprise. Delicious.

No formal notes taken, but this wine was incredibly light in the glass and HUGE on the nose and palate. So, so delicious. Big, sweet red fruit (not sugar sweet, but sweet fruit). A nice little zing of acid kept it from being overly goopy. I really like this style of wine, but it's certainly a style that isn't for everyone. I would drink this all day long, though.
