Had this on date night with the wife and it was great. Not a mind blower, but delicious. Let decant for an hour and all that smooth tannin took a backseat to the fruit. Good deep purple color, touch of bricking. Blackberry, plummy, little licorice, pepper ... I think my wife will go on another date with me... thanks CH. Lagrange!
