Fantastic! Just coming into its own now. Decanted for 15 min only, opened up nicely. Tannins are still there but lightly. DARK fruit and a little jammy. This was a pleasure to drink and I cant wait to open another. Ridiculously smooth and classy. Wont get any better

Drinking perfectly right now, decanted for 30 min, basically stayed the same after that. What a sensory overload on the nose! Hints of dark chocolate, a hint of wood, black cherries, chalkboard dust and Pert shampoo paired with Cajun Shrimp and Venison loin with cherries, fantasic!

Decanted for 2 hrs before drinking, the hype was more than the wine deserved. With that said, still a silky glass of heaven, but nowhere near the 05. Smells of deep ruby friut, slightly astringent. Hints of smoke, burnt chocolate cake and helicopter lubricant. Paired well with my steak, rare of course.
