At opening I tasted very earthy with licorice. Once opened up it had chocolate and cheeries. I loved it. Wow after 90 minutes it was brilliant. I am glad I bought a case. The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Slow.

Had with lamb chops and filet mignon at Aria in Atlanta. At first the wine seemed very closed on the nose. Decanted for an hour. At the hour point it began to open up with amazing berries. Got better over the next hour. Would recommend decanting for two hours at least. Amazing body that is extremely sexy and velvety. In my opinion peaking now for the next 12 months.

Had the bottle with a good german meal. Nose started out very closed but after 45 minutes it opened up very nicely. Very berry with blueberry. Good solid wine. Definitely beyond it peak. Wish i would have drank it two years ago. If you have any I would recommend drinking now.
