Thought this would be long past its prime. Opened up beautifully over the course of an hour or so. Notes of chocolate, leather, tar and dark berries on the nose. Long smooth finish. Was really surprised, but pleasantly so.

Am a real KL fan but very disappointed in this bottle. While containing nice tannins, wine is very one dimensional with no distinct front and mid palettes. Maybe it will develop into a better balanced and more structured wine over time but at present it's underwhelming

Nose of current, blueberry, and licorice. In the mouth definite hints of graphite, granite, slate along with deep berry undertones and a ton of minerals. Very well balanced with powerful front palette and nice long and smooth finish. Extremely young but drinking well, this one will go many more years and will only improve with age.
