I'm frankly mystified by the low scores, I found this to be a good wine, not great, but certainly better than the scores posted to date; perhaps it just needed more time. Somewhat muted on the nose, but did get some strawberry, cherry on the palate, smooth and bright, with a medium finish. Drinking well now, I don't think there is reason to think it will improve. 4+12+16+7

Decanted +/- 2 hours, drank over two nights; a bit on the tannic side night one, smoothed out on night two. Nice aromas of black fruit, but felt a bit thin in the mouth, especially the first night. 4+12+15+7

No formal notes, but this was excellent - balanced and well integrated, tasting beautifully right now. Paired very well w/ roasted lamb. 5+12+18+9
